3.0/3.2 engine rebuild course
 

Does anyone offer a course on 911 3.0/3.2 engine rebuiding ala Bruce Anderson?

Doubt it, every engine is different and it takes too long to get one's ducks in a row, even for a pro.

Just read the Factory manual, get Wayne's book etc, and ask questions here.

The real hard part is the machining which is beyond the average joe and timing the cams. Bunch of special tools you need to buy or borrow, supplies, sealants, etc
I'd say the number one fail points are going cheap on things like reusing out of spec parts like cylinders and pistons, valves, guides, not doing all the required checks, processes and machining, etc.

If you can zip up your pants without getting your frank and beans caught then a DIY rebuild is possible. If not then pay a pro.

In other words if you do a cheap a s s job you will get what you paid for.

Thx, Mark!

When I was in College, University?, I took an automotive course that was engine rebuilding. A guy brought a V-12 Ferrari in and rebuilt it in that shop.

Those were the days.

I don't know of any institution that will teach engine rebuilding nowadays. Today it's all about ASE certification on reading some instrument and replacing components.

The problem with 911 motors is they are rather unique and require a certian experience and special tools to do it right.

One small mistake or overlooked specification and your motor could end up junk.

Don't get me wrong, you can DIY these motors. But they are not something to learn mechanics on.

Get Wayne's and Bruce Anderson's books. Spend some time reading and decide what you are comfortable doing.

If you can build a couple of VW bug type one engines or a VW type 4, similar but not near as complicated and they are good engine to learn on before tackling a 911 engine.

Exactly what I did. I still own a '67 Beetle.

VW Beetles are so cheap now that you could buy one for the cost of a gasket kit for a 911. Those could be a fun project while learning.

It also helped that I had friends who were professionals employed at VW and Porsche shops! I learned a lot from them. And anytime I need help, one or two of them are still around.

My 3.2L is being rebuilt by a Porsche Air Cooled engine specialists...

In the meantime... Im really hoping Santa brings me this... and I will build an engine too!
