Last night I vacuumed all the loose crud from the engine bay and removed the rear and side (original) seals. The front engine bay seal is still intact, but I should probably replace it too while the engine is out.

The next step is to clean decades of grime from the engine bay and figure out what to do with a little rust damage on the battery tray and hell hole. The lower fuel pump mount hole rusted out, but the upper one is fine. Otherwise, there is some surface scaling but no apparent structural damage.

MJHanna - Nice. Are you planning to add the black plastic shields over the metal tabs that hold the wiring harness in place so the metal does not damage the wire?

Yes if you look to the right side to the coils thats new wiring, the wiring to the left of center was done by the PO.

Fixed the rear view mirror (found that the screw had come loose). Then drove down the coast to Cardiff, had dinner at a restaurant, and drove home.

I ordered a book on building 911 engines from Amazon.

I'm going to try to understand a bit more about the mysterious 911 Porsche motor and make an attempt at re-building mine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Not sure if I picked the right color however....

Packed both trucks with gear and went camping in Monterey. Nolan met the Gas Monkey guys while we we there today. He was stoked.

Thursday night, I pulled the barrels off of my wife's 1.7L motor. Marked them and stuck them in the hot tank. They actually looked pretty good, could still see cross-hatch marks in them ... then de-greased the 3~4 side of the case.

Attached Image

Hoping to clean up the 1/2 side on Friday or Saturday ... maybe spit the case too? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Also, worked on a 1.6L 912 (type 616) motor. Torqued the recently installed 3~4 head, installed the rocker arm assembly and adjusted the valve clearances. The PO also forgot to install wave washers under the (7) rocker arm nuts when he rebuilt this motor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) ... luckily I had a jar full of extras.

Attached Image

Now I get to disassemble and check the 1~2 side ... then install new push rod tube seals the missing lower deflector shield. If it's anything like the other side, it's probably missing head stud washers and O-rings, and wave washers for the rocker assembly as well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Still haven't found the misplaced fan housing yet either (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Smart call. A man has got to know his limitations.
