Engine Finished, In car and runs!
This is a stock rebuild of a 2.4E MFI, Had 1 small problem getting it to run, CDI had issues and points (needed cleaning), Also I must have been asleep putting the left cam oil line on as it wasn't tightend but other than that went smoothly, Engine runs and idles and I have only set the timing
 This is the Car after a 10+ year resto almost ready for the PCNZ concours on 5th December  Thanks to all that have contributed advice (and in some special cases parts) Neven |

Engine looks great!... I see a hose connected to your exhaust. Did you run it on that stand?

I was wondering if someone would ask that, No it is a budget flow bench for setting up the throttle bodies (which I'd rebuilt), When you put a cylinder at TDC with valve overlap only that cylinder has a path from the exhaust thru to the intake (both valves open), The hose is connected to a vaccum cleaner, I then used a synchrometer to measure airflow for each cylinder at idle and part throttle settings, you can do it for more than a minute at a time for the vacuum cleaner overheats!
It worked well though when I first ran the engine I was only slighlt out between the left and right backs Neven |

Another longhood set for many years of enjoyment. Glad to hear that its running smoothly. I like the thought on the flow test.

Well spotted, The ride height is high at the back, needs to come down about 10mm, Its not Paris/Dakar settings! Maybe you guys with flares and lowered suspensions have forgotten what a std 911 looks like :-) Neven |

Neven,
That "budget flow bench" is very clever. As far as ride height, I hear that standard height is making a comeback, probably a result of all the SUVs on the roads here in the states. Gary

Neven,
Actually I haven't forgotten, I just couldn't resist a chance to show what Porsche nerds Jim and I are.  P.S. The car really is inspirational.

The car is off to the suspension place today to be lowered, you didn't comment on the 1 degree +ve camber at the rear (which we hope to get rid of by lowering), I know its offtopic but I thought you might appreciate this photo

Wow that's insane.
How many times did you go to lift the pan off only to find yet another spot weld you missed? I just wish I could retire so I could devote myself to a restoration of that degree. What fun.
