Big Dave

It's pretty much all back together, and the local 928 gang in Detroit will be stopping by this Saturday for the official re-install.

I usually don't get the chance to head out to the garage until around 10pm each weeknight, so all this has been done between 10pm and 12am during the past few weeks.

I plan on turning the key before next Saturday.

You must be able to do it blind folded by now........

Real purty engine!!!!!

Big Dave

Thank you. I've taken a lot of time polishing individual bolts and other pieces to make them shine again.

Wow that engine looks great , i hope the install goes without a hitch, if you have not done so it is almost a necessity to replace all of the fuel injection hoses , goodluck, Stan

Mrmerlin

Ahh one other thing you probably already know this but the lower timing cover goes on before the big pulley gets torqued and also one of the tensioner bolts is used to fasten the lower cover to the engine, easy to do with the engine on the stand,Goodluck, Stan

Big Dave

Yep, all the fuel hoses are new, per Roger's replacement kit.

Yep, I know this, too. The balancer and bolt are on due to the need to rotate the engine when I was setting valve timing. They need to come off to put the cover on.

Big Dave: You are my hero.

Dave,

That color combination looks outstanding! ... 'course, I am a little biased... and as we all know by now, the red intake and cam covers WILL make your 928 go faster

Great job, it looks so good, you almost don't want to put it back in the car... almost, but then there would be no BWAAAAAAAAAH! and what's the fun in that!?!

Big Dave

I still remember when it looked like this the first time I pulled it out in '05 YUCK!

Mike Frye

Dave,

That is immaculate!

Good luck this weekend.
