Cleaning engine and putting in new push rod tube seals and checking torque on heads and valve train when a friend (long time Porsche mechanic from Garrettson/Anderson days) stops by and "checking" my work when he finds a VERY loose intake valve guide in one cylinder! Hadn't noticed any funny noises before I took the engine out but hadn't done any head work on that engine for probably at least 35 years... Thank God I didn't put it back in!!
So off the heads went to Competition Engineering in Tempe... will give me more time to clean all the rest of the parts! |

Got both blower fans working on the 1970 today. The front one took spraying some good electrical contact cleaner in the switch mechanism and working it back and forth.
The rear had a broken wire at the pull handle. Hooked up a new wire end and it fired right up. I love it when simple things are the solution (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)  |

Took the bahia red '73 to C&C in old town Scottsdale. Great turnout including 3 914's, with James Patrick bringing his gulf livery backdated '75 with a 3.2 Carrera engine.

What we did on this 71 with side shift conversion by previous owner and I sold it to a member here. We just used long screw driver to pushed a little bit the part where it was rubbing and I just accessed it through the small hole where the heater knob. well for sure you will do it in a better way.  |

Drove it... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif)
However before driving it I modified the orientation of the MAP sensor. It used to point the other direction...the problem is that with the connector attached it would hit the trunk lid. Not sure if I ever posted the studs in the front bumper to allow for easier one person assembly to vehicle.      |

I took my crank, case, and heads to the machine shop to get cleaned up. Forgot the flywheel, but I'll take it soon.
I'm working on a 2.0 rebuild with new cam, going up to 96mm with some other improvements while it's parked. I've got a set of Dellortos, Webers, and EMPIs... any preferences out there? |

I picked this up this past weekend, hopefully this means there's a WCR in my future. Have been in a state of trailer envy ever since borrowing the famous P-Car Hauler from @ValcoOscar so I had to step it up! (and also after borrowing the P-Car Hauler the wife was onboard with it) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
