if i choose to do the 6 conversion im looking at using a 2.4 or 2.7 porsche 6 engine. im really looking into getting into engine building and rebuilding my own engine, so whatever i need to learn im willing to. ive heard that one should not even attempted at rebuilding a porsche transaxle because of the cost of tools to do it. is the 911 engine like this. what kind of special tools will i need to work on air-cooled porsche engines. i will have to send out to have any maching to be done but i would look at completely assembling and tunning the engine myself.

Expensive tools for the tranny? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) Hah, wait til you price the tools for he engine. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
You will likely need the big crows foot for the cam nut, and the special socket for the cam (usually $78 each, but I found a place a while ago for $80 both). the engine stand or adaptor ring. Again prices will vary from $110-$450 (amazing, huh?). I am not a novice, but I did let a shop assemble my top half because I didn't have the other required tools, nor the time to take the tiem to learn. these be different beasties. As for Wayne's book, it is a good book, but do not take everything at face value. realize that he is a parts vendor and has avested interest in getting ou to buy things like a new oil pump becaue the old one is not as good (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) As with anything, do as much research as you can, get books, ask quesitons here and on the Pelican 911 engine building forum. I know a shop in San Dieog that does most of the /6 engines and they are not expensive at all. they did the rest of mine and rebuilt my buddies /6. If you want to talk about it some time I can give you my number (only because I just did this) becuase to type up everything would take more time than I currently have. ........and now, back to renal clearance and the glomerular filtration rate (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) |
