I'm restoring a 912E, total gut & rebuild. New to this forum, been on the 912 board and several others for a while. I've never worked on an air cooled car engine before, or VW/Porsche of any type, so this has been a real learning process. Been lurking here for a while, figured it was time to post. I've been on 912BBS since 2011, for those interested, this link goes back to day 1. http://www.912bbs.org/vb/showthread.php?43391-770-Update

Thanks all, I decided on the CB rotary pump.
I just finished media blasting the fan, will be painting then sending crank, fan flywheel, and PP to be balanced. I weighed my piston/ring/rod assemblies and tehy are almost spot on, but will match opposing sides as close as possible. Quick question, I have been planning on using permatez aviation sealant for my case/assembly sealent, is this still the conventional wisdom? \ |

Thanks all, I decided on the CB rotary pump, and will likely use the Fram filter with the built in bypass as a second filter. The Jeep guys use this when running Weber IDF's with great results. ... I don't know about Fram's fuel filters, but I don't use their oil filters. Why? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRRgw4B7R-I I just finished media blasting the fan, will be painting then sending crank, fan flywheel, and PP to be balanced. I weighed my piston/ring/rod assemblies and tehy are almost spot on, but will match opposing sides as close as possible. Having the entire rotating assembly balanced with the flywheel, fan and clutch assembly bolted on is essential to longevity, you're doing it right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) Quick question, I have been planning on using permatez aviation sealant for my case/assembly sealent, is this still the conventional wisdom? A light coating is good I'm going to try to keep all my questions and posts on the car in this thread, would like to rename it if possible, to #770 Build Project (my 912E is #770 of about 2000). Moderators??? |
