I decided that as my car was not running when I bought it that I was willing to rebuild it if the compression looked bad. This is what I came up with after putting oil in the plugholes and turned it over by hand. It turned very freely very easy. This car has been sitting for 16 years, as it did not pass smog for the PO. He said it ran great when last run. I pulled the Webbers that are in need of rebuild and you can see some carbon in the intake of the head a little so I am thinking vales.
The compression numbers where something like 120,60,80,60,40,70-I read that S cams give lower compression, but something is wrong as the numbers are all over the place. The one 120 may be OK This is what the engine has according to the PO. 2.5 L 20k Miles Aluminum case 2.2. Rods EMPI, 88 mm pistons and cylinders, Ported heads and manifolds 40 IDS Weber Carbs, CD ignition, 911S Distributor 67 911S Cams This would be my 3rd 911-engine build so I am not worried I just get help with the cam timing. I have bought a oil fed tensioner set I just do not know if I will need a full rebuild. Do you guys like this engine set up as far as the 2.5 and S cams?Ported, Perer Dawes of Dawes Motorsports built this engine in the late 70s. Bob Attached image(s) |

That is my car. I am going to a semi GT with Chrome front and rear to show off the factory oil coiler, got the AA flair deal, got 7 and 9” factory Fuchs chrome and color will be the same blue as the 916 up in San Francisco with full Cork leather Interior. I am lucky to have a top quality restoration shop next door to my factory so I can look after my car every day as I pass they every day. I will do the Engine work myself, strip the car and interior and let them do the body work and paint and dirty work. My guys will work on some of it. It will cost a bunch but it should be very nice when done.

I am restoring my 1970 factory six, which already had factory steel flares when I got it. Its down to bare metal right now getting some rust repaired and chassis stiffening done, and then a full repaint in the original signal orange. Sticking with the chrome bumpers front and rear too. Custom Fuch centered 3 piece 16" wheels 8" (or wider) in front and 9" (or wider) in back. Vintage race buckets with houndstooth inserts, a short geared close ratio tranny with LSD and the aformentioned 2.2S MFI motor. S brakes up front and 914-6 rears widened like the GT's to take vented rotors in back. Should be done by the end of April. Can't wait. Brooke |
