Anyone know why Porsche went with the oval locking nuts on the later engines?
I have the nylon lock nuts but not the oval lock style.


Oval locking nuts are better with heat/cool cycles and are less likely to back out. Also not chemically degrading

Back at it here... I had to put the engine build on pause while I wait for some piston squirters. I've been working here and there on the Celette to Blachawk fixture issue.
I came up with a fix and pretty much have it squared away. Hopefully I can get it all done this weekend so I can start cutting away by next weekend. I did find an issue with the right front A-arm mounting area. It looks like the car was bottomed out or struck something. That caused the front mounting point to be pushed up between 5 and 8 mm. Looks like I'll need to pull that down before I can mount that fixture. Getting there slowly but surely.

Right A-arm mount issue to be addressed. 5-8 mm upward hit. You can see where it took the hit on the front trunk pan. I need to cut away some of the pan for the cooler install but I'll wait a little to do that. Time to straighten the mount first.

Front end fixtures are done. I need to rework the mounting plates on the rear before welding those up. I also need to go buy a hydraulic pull style ram to fix the issue at the front A-arm mount. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

Targa to windshield frame brace is in and got the R/R Q-panel off.
Measurements are dead on so hopefully it'll stay that way.
I'd like to start cutting out the right long by the end of the week.


Anyone have a NOS R/R inner panel???
Now would be the time to replace this otherwise I'll use the RD one.

The chassis is now locked down on the fixtures and the cutting has begun. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

I spent all of Friday afternoon drilling out spot weld, cutting, and grinding away all of the old long section. What a PITA. Got it all cleaned up and ready so I can test fit the new NOS long today. I have some other work to get done before I can install it for good. I need to get a few more parts from RD. I also need to track down a plug end for the spot welder and rework the spot welder arms. I'm gonna try and use the spot welder as much as I can then finish with plug welds.

Floppy disk for grinders are simple the best. I'm not sure if your using one or not.
They blend welds and remove material fast.
I see your doing a lot of work, but your pictures are always clean?
Looks very good.

Luke you certainly don't shy away from hard work.
WOW! .... what a project.
You've prepared well with tools and parts for the job too.
One step at a time, you'll get it done. You've done plenty already.
Too bad you're so far away. I'd like to visit and lend a hand.
Be careful.
One word of caution about grinding, protect your eyes, ears, the other cars and
glass in the area. The damage often isn't noticed untill it's too late.
Forge on.

Hi Rory,

Working away for sure. I'd like the car in paint by May. I know I can , I know I can...lol..
I move the Cayenne outside when I grind/weld. And yes I make a pretty good mess but I also like my garage as clean as possible..lol..

Test fitted the long. Needs some fine tuning but overall fits well.
Taking a lunch break then back to it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)
