Help Needed in DFW Area
Wanted - Porsche 911 independent mechanic or knowledgeable enthusiast in the Dallas Ft Worth area. I started doing a top end rebuild in my 911SC following Wayne's book, but need to find someone to help me finish. I have been busy and lost momentum. I will like to find a mechanic technician or an enthusiast with the hands-on experience and knowledge to help me finish the engine rebuilt.
Being honest, I can't afford to take it to Zims, Mayo, etc. So the person needs to be willing to do this as a side job, preferably in my garage and negotiate a reasonable fee. I also have a friend with another 911 SC that needs some mechanical work too. Probably I am asking for too much, but if you know of someone that could help me out, please let me know! Thanks, Rodney |

Mayo is your best choice. Where are you stuck? If you have your heads off give them to Mayo and he will put new guides in and then you can put them back on. If you don't have a press there is no way you can do the guides at home.

I came across your post, and thought of my father to help you along. He lives in the HEB area, and although never rebuilding a 911 motor, he's built alot of motors. However I mentioned this to him and he didnt like the Idea of coming in on the middle of a project, as there are to many variables. Sorry if I come across anyone since I live in the Metroplex (Denton) Ill certainly let you know.
Ill be at the swap meet at ZIMS on the 12th. Will you be there? would like to get to know some other 911 guys in the area. -Blake Small |

Putting new valve guides in a 911 is tricky. I had a dealer crack 3 heads while attempting to do this.
You need to press out the old guides , ream the heads and press the new ones in. If you don't have the proper equipment or know what you are doing you are done. The other trick part is cutting the valve seats to the proper angles, only a machinist with Porsche experience does this right. Putting the heads on the block is the easy part. Then timing the cams, again not easy if you don't have the tools.
