A special 914 Creamsicle gets the full treatment

                                             

 More to come soon

A 1985 M491 ready for an engine out full refresh (3.2L engine)



The engine has only 60,000 miles, runs strong but needs a few leaks fixed .

Showing some excitement as the engine came out with no snags.

After many hours of dismantling and cleaning I have started with new oil tubes. Next the seals are all replaced.

3.6 Restoration 2011

We started with a 95 that  had 75,000 miles on it. The engine was solid in it's inner workings but everything else was showing it's age. Without some reconditioning reliability and performance  would suffer moving forward.

The transmission worked well but the clutch and all of the related parts were replaced.

The car was lowered to euro height. with factory euro shocks and springs



The engine is stripped of dirt and grease. Everything removed down to the case, inspected , cleaned and replaced as necessary.

Transmission polished and replaced . Sheet metal powder coated. All metal re-zinc anodized. All hoses and hardware replaced.New wiring harness.

Another view from underneath. Everything like new. Anything that could leak taken care of.

New premium engine pad installed. Better than new!

Virtually very nut bolt and seal is replaced .  Here is a detail pic of the chain cover area.

Listening to the car is important.

New Beru wire set custom built.











Almost back together.

Now this becomes art

Started first turn of the key. 

964 Engine coming together

Here are a few pictures of the 91 964 engine close to completion and ready to go back in . Close attention has been placed on ensuring the potential oil leaks are addressed. I hate oil drops on garage floors.

Lined up and ready to lower the car.

Brad is waiting patiently because it is very sunny and warm out.

The engine is back in and only a few connections left.

 

Still need a sticker for the top of the fan but that won't stop a test drive
