C4 engine drop with William, age 15. He stayed home to help dad instead of seeing his pretty little girlfriend. No accounting for taste, but I sure was glad to have a helper.

Have been chipping away at detaching wires, hardware etc whenever I could find time over the last couple of weekends. William fabricated the support for the torque tube.

LWF & clutch are on the way, and will the usual "while I'm in there" stuff for seals, gaskets, sensors, and check condition of timing chain, lifters etc. Not sure if SAI cleanout is in the works, since I already built the electronic override... so might just pull the air pump off and be done with it.

Next is bigtime cleanup, I think I might have the record for the dirtiest engine ever posted on Rennlist.

Any tips on how to engine clean with minimal mess, without hauling motor somewhere?

Love that last pic.

 

Last picture is print / frame it forever worthy! Enjoy the journey, keep updates coming.

 

Well done, sir. Good luck with the work. I'm about 2 weeks behind you since I started on the SAI passage cleanout and decided to keep going. Boy, what a slippery slope...

 

Another Hallmark moment....brought to you by Porsche
