Hello John,
I am very impressed by your skilles and and performance and patience.
Your engine is a beauty and will run better than everything else that I have seen.
But I have some question in regards to my project?
First tightening sequence! Please correct me if I am wrong.
Engine case:
First long M10 main studs with 35Nm and then the outer perimeter nuts. 25Nm.
Can I use M8 selflocking nuts with new aluminum washers? I read some concerns?
Oil pump.
I have a question in regards to the oil pump. What is the torgue of the internal pump studs.
I like to control the torque and secure them with loctide like the rod bolts.
Rod bolts.
Now a question to the rod bolts. Porsche documents are listing to torque them with 50Nm.
Waynes book says 20Nm + 90 degrees. Why is here a mismatch of data?
Case 7R
On my case I replace all outer M8 perimeter threads with Helicoil inserts.
I installed case savers on all six cylinder. They came out real straight. I did it on my own. No risk no fun. I took case savers from EMPI. Some people call it bad. I compared them to others and they were fine. Outer 1/2 inch inner M10 on my 2.7. I did not used M14 case savers for two reasons
No. 1) Bottom copper cylinder gasket surface was to narrow on the case saver section.
No. 2) Cylinderwall ist to narrow as well. Like Frank Sinatra said. "I did it my way" I probably will earn now a lot of critics but the reality will show if it works.
I gave all my std. headstuds bolt away to chrome them. I also gave my chromer some dilavar bolts. Is dilavar elctrical conductive so I can also chrome them as well ?
Next week I will repleace gears on my intermediate shaft. I tested them. They are very tight pressed or. I tried my sears big tripot puller. No chance. I guess I have to use a press.
What is your experience about this?
My last question is on the marking on the bousing and intermediate and crankgrear.
I can find the 0 on the housing and intermeadiate. But I can't find any making on the crankshaft gear. Where is it placed? Is it hidden somewhere. A picture would be great?
Thanks and no broken studs at all.
Bob
