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

The truth is ugly.............. he parked for the winter, and in the spring instead of putting back on the road, he started driving a.... Miata............ choke....... Really nice guy, older what is worse is what this was sandwiched between.

I never realized that the 912s had 4 cyls in them.
That looks exactly like our type IV.

Does the engine have VW markings anywhere?
Are those heads technically 2.0L heads?

Be sure to do the galley plugs once you get the case back from cleaning.

Good Luck!

So do the 912E owners get "looked down upon" like the 914 owners do at the PCA meetings? ;-)

Depends, taking the motor out and dropping it into a 914?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

There is a lot of crossover with this car. It replaced the 914 until the 924 came out as the entry vehicle.

The 912E had the same motor as the 914, but with a different FI system. Yes, they are the 3 stud "porsche heads"

Not sure if a lot of people already mentioned this, but the 76 912E had a 2.0 TIV with L-jet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Looks like the previous owner was not an Porsche enthusiast.

Hope to see the rebuild of the car here with many pics.

Thanks for the welcome guys, I will definitely be checking in here for some help as I build the motor. I took the flywheel to a second shop they said the flywheel was fine, so they are going to clean and do a light resurface.

Here is a question, my cooling fan is pitted and dirty, what is the best way to restore? I'd like to powder coat, but am a bit concerned about the cleaning and effecting the balance of the fan.

SHOULD start the assembly of the long block after laborday weekend.
