Thanks! Would have never thought to look at the #'s on the rotor and even if this was looked at, would have not known:



Learning much about the 2.2. A lot more sophisticated than the engines in our 356 cars.

Thanks again for taking the time to post here.

Received the hot tanked exhaust manifolds/heater boxes yesterday. The look great in comparison to the way they looked/smelled on removal:



Cleaned:



So clean that they rattle now. Going to clean to bright metal in a few strategic spots and weld or braze to keep them from rattling. Found too where a small bracket is missing so will fab up a little bracket and replace the missing item.

Looking forward to sandblasting and to get the job done, a new compressor with a 80 gallon tank, 7.5 Hp motor and 2 stage pump to fill the tank. Oh so Nice!



Thanks for following along.

Looking at the transmission mounts. Appears that the mount has the molded in place rubber. After reading several posts on this item, is the only way to replace the rubber is by a special process? There are no 2 piece mounts to retro-fit these mounts?

Thank you.

Wevo or SRP or somebody has a modified or replacement plate for the funky early style mount. I thought it was on the '69s but have forgotten a lot about these details...

DanielJ

this one looks to be moulded into the cross brace. Might not be a plug and play...

Looked all over the net. Found some parts, but need to confirm first. Seems like the 911 world is similar to the 356 world where there is just a bit of difference at the end of the day.

Thanks for posting guys!

I like easy! Thanks again for your interest.

Swepco 201 into the transaxle today. So much passion over the brands of oil, religious to a point and the variations of transaxles and “what is correct” for each type. A great education on what to put into which transmission. All good reading. Think our 964 is up next, but not with 201.



Inside the timing chain/tensioner covers. No expert here as there is still a little mystery in this section for this DIY Hack, the tensioner gear and that on the cams look good to me. And, from what can be seen of the chain, it looks to be in reasonable shape.

Wondering if anyone can see looming issues here? Tension on the chain appears to be good and no real slop…. but what does this guy know?



A little “sludge” at the bottom of the cover and do not believe this is any issue at all.



Have read where it is advisable to immerse the hydraulic tensioners in oil and pump them to remove any air, but believe this is for a new install and since there is oil in these tensioners (at least believe there is) these should be good to go, unless the experienced folks here recommend some sort of prime since the engine was last ran in 2013. Further, some insist on a gasket sealant and others say dry. Care to suggest your method?

Thanks again for your help and for following along.

Promised to get back on woodworking and to finish up the master bath cabinets, wainscoting, and doors. A push on now to get back on track.

911T will be waiting patiently and have a lot more interest in getting the car back together and running rather that doing “honey do” lists.

So many know that: Happy Wife = Happy Life.



Think too, will be able to sneak in a few hours from time to time to work on the T.

Thanks for following along.

DanielJ

Spent just a few minutes working on the T today. Removed the left timing chain cover. Nothing new here and to my untrained eye, it all looks good. Please do correct me if there are issues that are apparent to the folks with experience.

Thanks for following along.

how do the ramps look?

DanielJ

Chain ramps look to be in good condition. Elevated the timing chain with some delrin and could see the tracks in the ramp. Looked up the last time these were replaced and that was in 1993. As far as can be determined, only a few thousand miles on these parts.



Thanks for your comment.
