my new Porsche 928 mechanic!!!
last night out of boredom, I got Russell #2 (age 12 years young) to help with piston removal on a 4.5L I have just taking up space in my garage.....
I mostly supervised.....fun to watch him getting into it.

Great job Dad! I sure wish I had someone to teach me how to work a block. I was also wondering off hand, do you know if a 1000 lb engine stand is enough for a 928 engine?

Reminds me of when i was a kid. My dad would set me loose with some tools and whatever engine/car that needed disassembly. Great job. I'm keeping the 11 year old busy in our garage.
On another note, I took her by Rogers place on Friday and she had a blast looking at all the donor cars. Calling parts out by name. Kid in a candy store. Then she found a hood crest on a burnt hood that she wanted for her back pack. Roger gave it to her, bless his heart.

That's great Russ. My son, Gabriel, is 9 and he's a tiny bit interested. But more interested in when I can take a break and throw the football around with him.

Great to see a younger generation involved with cars. It's scary to think that someday kids will stop looking at cars as a hobby and eventually only think of them as a necessary evil.
Good job Russ!

She could have kept R2 "entertained"........well, maybe....

Oh, he's already got his own.....won't wear them just yet, and it was cold that evening so it didn't last long--just enough to knock the piston/rod assemblies out.
Got his own tool two box cabinet as well, stocked up.
It's the only way I can keep him out of my tools-
Now.....if I could just keep Deb out of my tool box.

That's what I call some quality Dad & Son time Russ.
The only problem I can see is that you need to get the boy a bigger hammer, I don't think that one is "Porsche regulation."
