You need to ventilate the garage when working with acetone and other cleaning supplies.

Did you ever measure your main bore.

comeon guys, give the man a break. Some porsche people are literate.

Hint #1: Install (ation) of.........

Sounds like how to install rings properly.

*Everything* is covered in my book.

Just for my own thinking, I wanted a checklist to install my particular new rings the same way.

I wanted to be sure the oil spring break ("Joker") stayed opposite ("backward") of the ring (which surrounds and "holds it) gap holding it. (The spring reminds me of a joker's hat.) The oil ring gap staying toward the top ("Crown, in this case, meaning cooresponding to the piston valve large relief cutout" 4-7 Wayne's book)

The second #2 ring, on my pistons, the ring gap I coorespond toward the number 2 side of the piston, which is stamped on the right side on my pistons. So 2 gap to the 2 side.

And then the #3 top comp. ring on my pistons, the gap cooresponds to the E (stamped on the piston) left side of the piston, which is opposite to the 2 ring. So "#3 to the E side.

Last, I double check that all rings top stampings face the "top" of the piston. 4-3 Wayne's book. (photo above does not show the bottom small relief cutout due to the magnifying)


For my own dazed thinking.......................
:D :D

flipping eck!

10 points for effort anyway!

Rings rotate when the engine runs so aside from installing the rings up side down you can hardly make a mistake.
Space the gaps so they don't all line up and you're go to go.

Great!!! someone finally outdid my most outrageous post.

hmmm, how about disconecting the clutch on a G50 for engine removal ?, as far as I see it only covers a cable clutch. (101 projects)

p.s.
Judging by the amount of posts from HGP regarding your books maybe you could have him proof the next one...:D

Hmmm, I'll leave that one alone. To clarify - everything is included in my "Engine Book." The 101 Book is a compromise book that couldn't possibly include all of the info that you would need for all cars 1965-89.

Henry and snowman are right - the rings to rotate in the grooves when the engines are running. Still, it's best to start them out opposite from each other with the oil ring on top.
