READ ME FIRST: Information Regarding the Engine Rebuild Book and this Forum

[Wayne at Pelican Parts]

Hi all. Thanks for stopping by here. This is the place to ask your questions regarding information that wasn't very clear or missing from my new book. For those of you who don't know about it, here is the link to the official website:

http://www.101projects.com/rebuild.htm

If you ask a question that is clearly answered in the book, I probably will not take the time to answer it here, but instead will refer you to a page number or Chapter/Section in the book.



########## IMPORTANT ###############

DO NOT POST TOPICS IN BOTH THIS FORUM AND THE MAIN 911 FORUM - PICK ONE AND THEN POST.

####################################


The color version of the book was released in March 2003. There used to be a CD-ROM that came with the book, but I decided that was too much hassle, and I placed all of that additional bonus information on the web at the official site for the book: http://www.101projects.com

Thanks again for your support!

-Wayne

Correction List from the first printing of the book:

How to Rebuild & Modify Porsche 911 Engines 1965-1989

Correction List
---------------

Page 154 - The camtower nuts should be torqued to 75% of the value listed in Appendix A.

Page 159 - The value 54.8mm should be subtracted, not added to the value.

Page 199 - It should be 915 transmission, not 914 transmission.

Page 185 - The swivel foot is shown on the left, not the right.

Page 77 - The four vertical lines are indicated by the green arrow, not the blue arrow.

Page 216 - The intake and exhaust valves are numbered incorrectly in the photo (1 = Intake, 2 = Exhaust)

Page 204 - The 911SC Rod Bearing Journals should be 53.020-53.059 for the bore, and 52.971-52.990 for the shaft

Page 204 - The 3.2/3.3 Rod Bearings Bore should be 55.020-55.059

Page 77 - The Turbo pump has a larger pressure side as well as a larger scavenge side.

Page 16 - "...when the cylinder heads have broken..." should read "...when the cylinder head studs have broken..."

Page 112 - 44 Weber Carb should read 40 Weber Carb

Page 112 - Typo "modifications"

Page 183 - Section Heading should be "REAR ENGINE MOUNT BAR" or simply "ENGINE MOUNT BAR"

Page 197 - "...you let the clutch out..." should be "...you let the clutch pedal out..."

Page 119/120 - "Plastigage" spelled incorrectly

Page 119 - Plastigage should be used at the sides of the rods - not in the middle. The rods stretch when under load, and you want to measure the clearances at the side.

Page 82 - Glass plate method is described in Chapter 5, Section 9

Page 180 - Valve Covers, 13mm hardware should be 8mm hardware
