HGP,

I'm with Joeaksa, if you are going to do this yourself, try and find someone else whop has a lot of knowledge about rebuilding theses engines.

From your posts to date it sounds like your knowledge of rebuilding 911 is about what mine was 6 months ago (before I did my rebuild) - you need a lot of help. Using books like Wayne’s 101 Projects are very useful, but having someone there who's done it all before is 'priceless'! You might get there without any problems, albeit slowly using the book, but there are plenty of little tricks and workarounds that can make life lot easier. Besides it good just to have someone else there to double check what you are doing - much better for your confidence.

Also, if the heads need work (which they surely will), get them done professionally, without question.

With that said, I wish you the best of luck.
