Mueller, that is an AWESOME idea. I already spent a small fortune to have the case scanned and a solidworks model made, so I could literally send it somewhere and have them made.

Heck, I want one myself!!!!

You might make more on the models than the real thing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I dunno, my phone is positively exploding these days. Everyone who builds porsche engines is all over this thing. I hesitate to quote quantity numbers right now, but as soon as I take orders on these there will be a metric shit ton, approx that is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif)

Can't do that just now. I had some big competition on this, and I was the first out of a supposed group of people to make a flat 6 case. That STL is so proprietary with all the mods we made and draft we added that it's like the Colonel's secret recipe. Literally no one besides the machinist and tool maker have it. It's beyond NDA secrecy, more on the order of find you and kill you secrecy LOL (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

But I will whip one up soon that's dumbed down and we can use to 3d print them. Do you have this capability?

I totally understand, stripped down is perfect. Can even change some dimensions or make it only the exterior features with no internal parts (like shell)

While not the best quality parts above, I am getting the quality better with each use. (parts in blue made with PLA) A small model would also be neat to make a small billet version with my CNC mill with a small ballnose endmill.

So with 914's about to get popular due to being on Leno's garage, what is the status of these 3.6 blocks? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif)

He last said the January date has been pushed back, in a nutshell due to figuring out the complicated machining on the cases.

It’s wonderful to see someone doing this (and it does sound like a labor of love). It seems to me that Porsche should have done this themselves many years ago. Aluminum replacement blocks are a great addition to the aircooled Porsche community.

I’m sure it will pay off for him but I bet it’s a ton of time and money to get there.

I see the value in it, like we all do, because we are those people. I wanted to be a machinist....maybe when I retire ( I will likely die on my way home on my last day of work from old age (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif))

He plans to do 2.0 & 2.7's in aluminum next. It's great to have options.



In addition, he should do a 3.6 case, with bearings and spigots that will accomodate the 2.0 - 2.7 cylinders and cranks. Racers can build their hotrod small bore motors with all of the 3.6 refinements.

I think that would be a very interesting case...I'm curious as to the final price of this case too.

It's not surprised they're behind schedule since they haven't produced a case before. Maybe I'm biased from seeing lots of really complicated aircraft engine parts (esp. cast ones) in both design and manufacturing stages, but case machining seems relatively simple for an experienced shop with good fixture development. All of the really critical points are on 2 planes so the big thing is establishing good datums.
