Steve's Rebuild

[alniki]

Super clean and neat.

BTW, what rings did you use for the Alusil p/c? It seems to be against consensus to reuse Alusil p/c. And yours are for racing

[87 clubsport]

Goetze nikasil rings. people have used nikasil rings in the past and not had a problem about 90% est. as long as the barrels were in tolerance and straight and prepped properly. the rings will seat. (info from EBS, I am very happy to deal with them, especially Troy).

Did you powder coat or paint your valve covers and fan? If not, what did you do? They look great!

[87 clubsport]

Fan is powder coated, valve cover is painted and put in the oven baked, almost get murder by the wife.

Steve,
Thanks for leaving a clear record of your engine rebuild. I have an '87 Carrerra with excessive leakdown on two cylinders. I have not worked 911's so seeing the pictures of a 3.2 engine were very helpful.

Beautiful 550 is it really weight 550 kg ?

[Outlaw_550]

I haven't determined the weight yet. It is more like a go kart than a car, though.

I think this is the true meaning of power to weight ratio, new car just too heavy, have fun cheers.
