918-S

I don't know what happened inside my engine yet. I've been working out of town and haven't had time to pull it.

I located a local parts engine tonight. I'm not sure it's a usable core yet. I have a friend with a engine he purchased several years ago from Renegade Hybrids. I think it's an 83 but I don't remember. He told me it sat so long in the shop it's stuck now and he can't turn it over.

So it's mine if I come and get it. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

I'm thinkin I hope it at least has a good 4.7 block. It was an auto car... maybe thrust issues... I'll know more tomorrow. (block # at least)

At least the price is right ! good luck with it.

thrust bearings only effect auto S4's 87+

I havent heard of these issues on 4.5 and 4.7 L engines but i also dont know much about those engines and the early 928's as i do about the later ones, so proceed with caution.

IIRC, 86 is when the circlip and shims were discontinued. My 86.5 doesn't have them.

The circlip groove is there, though, until the shaft diameter was made larger, in 88(?).

mark kibort

now, you need to rebuild it. did you forget we have scots almost brand new 4.7 engine ready to go?
$1500 and its yours. new seals, bearings, rings, and has only a few hours on it and dynoed at 250rwhp. even a free old engine, that doesnt turn needs about $2k of tender loving care.
Ill save you $500 and a lot of time! Ill even toss in some heads if you want!

Thank you Mark. I did forget. I'm going to pick up the free bee today. I'll pm you on your engine.

The above comment should not be construde as an attempt to break or skirt the rules. It is mearly a responce to a post of an addict based on a prior conversation from another time.

Is that a US or a Euro motor in the 914 chassis?

Gretch

That is a screeming deal. Go for it...... We all want to see you succeed........ Now that you have your head back in the game.

Good luck, man!

I had an '86.5 auto with TBF - DOA engine

Mark, isn't it against the rules to offer an item to a nonmember who previously asked in contravention of said rules, for that same something?

Vilhuer

Circlip and washers were deleted in '85 MY.

'88 is correct.

Yee Haw, the gates are open!

From reading his build thread I can say that it was a Euro.

BTW, just to play devils advocate here. Mark K's 4.7L Euro engine that is being discussed here, was removed from the car after only running a few hours. This was after a total rebuild. The reason it was pulled was because the head gasket/gaskets were leaking due to not following a proper torque procedure. Would I be right to assume that the rest of the engine was assembled with this same attention to detail? I'm just sayin'.

My bad Heinrich,

That's what I thought, just checking my memory.
