It’s looking more like a complete powerplant.

So plan is to mate to chassis this Thursday. Need to put some miles on and then redo
valve adjustments.
Will be participating in Ruchlos Rallye with some of 914Mob. Looking very much forward to this.
Thanks for looking in! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Awesome progress! It's so nice to run an engine on a stand before installing it.

Thanks Dan & Tom.
I’m quite surprised at how well the engine ran prior to this rebuild.
In addition to the sad valves on #4, all the valve guides were worn, valves had to be replaced & the case had someone in there before. Found evidence of Mr Rod knocking.
It’s had a tough life. We will now treat with some respect.
Porsche built some tough engines that’s for sure.

I can’t wait to hear feedback comparing before and after. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
