Any idea on what was causing the ticking noise?
Beautiful rebuild, please share more!

 

finally into reassembly its been a while but i was waiting for the nose bearing on back order
got up to installing the head studs (993 studs)
today i got stuck on the piston wrist pin clips i can't get them in. i tried making a tool but got frustrated and decided to order the 964 original installer (don't want to bugger things up at this stage
i got a couple in but can't see myself getting the rest in without loosing another finger lol

Stomski Racing makes some really good engine assembly tools.

 

its been a while since my last post i've been eager to get the motor finished but had to wait patiently for the wrist pin installer from Germany and a few other goodies
this was my attempt at making a wrist pin installer based on what i was seeing other guys do
i wasnt successful
so i ordered the one from Germany

My wife and i where in Anaheim vacationing over the Easter break so i was lucky to have Pelican send it to the hotel

for me this was one of the most difficult operations each time it took about 3 attempts to lock in the pin

 

this is the German pin installer, nice

i secured it in the vise on a sold surface to inject the clip to the groove seating at the bottom of the cylinder first

 

then tapping the pin it the cylinder groove this took me all afternoon to get them in

 

Fantastic work and patience. Thanks for sharing the photos. I love pictures of clean oily bits

 

cam heads are on temporarily while i torque down the head bolts and then the final 90 degrees
now im ready to put the cam housing on

Brilliant progress, must feel great to get all those new parts in there

 

That is a sweet wrist pin installer. We ended up modifying a 4mm allen wrench, a couple of notched screw drivers, and with two sets of hands were able to get the buggers in. I reflect on this with nostalgia even though it was only in April.

Thanks for following

I've had a snails pace going on with my motor do to my business relocating.
I only get a few hours in here and there but i hope to do a push to get the car running soon
here are a few pics of the clutch bushings being installed

I'm at the timing stage right now but am feared i made a mistake earlier when disassembling
When removing the front pulley i took it right apart, allen screws and all. now my Z1 or TDC mark is out of whack with No. 1 cylinder i would appreciate any direction in getting this back to normal

Thanks in advance

Hi again mates its been along winter of rebuilding the motor & moving my business.
sorry for the long gaps in-between but family and business must go on in order for me to pay for my joys
my last post was close to the end of the rebuild
now i am complete and started it up this last friday, as you might presume i was over joyed when it fired up
after building the oil pressure up and gas getting through all the channels away she went
i ran it at 2K for 20 minutes changed the oil and went for a spin…ye ah
i haven't ran her over 5K yet
many thanks to brothers in Renn, the 3 mandatory books we all have, a DVD and Steve Weiner

i also added 7mm spacers and H&R purple springs to my Bilsteins too

here are a few more pictures and a video when i first started her
