Got some progress pictures, replaced the outer lower and top window door seals.
some pictures of the new shocks the freshened brakes and new CV boots.
The CVs were bear of a job I had to put ice cubes on one of the halfshaft tubes before the puller could get the CV off , it got hot sitting in the sun.
The right cam cover is off and the old oil block off pins are out the new parts went in with 574 loctite on the cap.
Finally able to get some shine in the engine bay
new window seals
old worn seals
one of four new CV boots and fresh SS brake lines
LR new shocks and detailed rotors and new pads
RR the other side
Old nasty covers
the cams/ tensioners look good, replaced the 3 oil block off pins
the oil pins had old rubber holding them in.
the fans were not working properly so I was off on a goose chase.
Only to find a relay that was not the correct part in the X relay position, DOH...
old oil block off pins
taking the final stage controller apart to add heat sink paste and inspect for corrosion
Well some progress is being made and a few surprises are showing up.
I was going to be pulling the intake off and swapping in a fresh intake and cam covers,
but all of that changed when I pulled the cooling hose off and found a water filled cooling system that was also holding a lot of rust.
So upon closer inspection of the HGs it was evident that the HGs were weeping out the side of the block/ head interface,
plus all of the rust the system had was not a good thing,
I pulled off the water pump to find it was a rebuilt part,
the cam gears and oil pump gear are worn,
on and on and on, so like the saying goes ,
their is no such thing as a cheap Porsche.
nasty old HG this system was sitting filled with water for atleast a year or more.
the HG fell to pieces as I pulled it off, all of the fire rings look to be in good condition
Well got the left head off today,
the HG was in great shape compared to the right side.
The right head looks like its gonna need to be welded and possibly one or two spots on the left head
left side HG was in good shape compared to the right side possibly due to the HCV port letting coolant leak out and air to come in
left head looks pretty good
Right head with the damaged areas circled
Had to get into the engine bay to loosen the head bolts they are a bear to remove for the first turn
