Did someone remove their post? Post #19 is a friendly helpful post... Who was the moderator in question?

Glad you got it all sorted out!

Cheers

Jeff,

The original post #19 was deleted after the video of Crashmy911's car in a NJ track came out. I've never seen the engine in action before and was glad it has been documented. Could not have asked for more and glad the agony of defeat is over. See my post #171 in page 9. Thanks.

good read (all 10 pages), well done for your pesistanance, and getting there in the end, and a bigger well done, for continually helping me with my CIS problems over the last couple of years all the while when you had some major problems of your own all that time. Ive learned some good tips from this topic, and they have all been absorbed (hopefully) into my cranium for my next rebuild.

Tony,
Can you post more pictures of your test stand ? From all the sides, please.
Are you using a transmission case to mount the starter ? or how do you start the engines ?

This is what we use for 4 cylinder engines.

Tony,

Gotcha, thanks for the redirect. Scolded by an administrator... who then deletes his posts... quite the contribution...

Don,

That's where I started in the first place running a VW biug motor. The Porsche 911 needs a starter mount (same as VW) and an oil tank. I will post some pictures of the engine stand after I got back from my travel. Waiting for my flight to Israel at the at the moment and will be back home in 2 weeks.

BTW, regarding your problem with the base gaskets problem, every one makes stupid mistakes including the best engine rebuilders. As long as you learned and avoided committing the same mistake in the future, consider it as a work experience. Don't hesitate to ask for advises from people who know the subject.
