"Running" sliced open 911 motor...Kassel, Germany
Apparently this is on display in my birth town of Kassel, Germany.
It's just too cool not to share. Artist is Thomas Bayrle Porsche 911 motor, sewed open, dOCUMENTA (13), Kassel, Germany - YouTube MattR Last edited by matt930s; 12-19-2014 at 07:10 PM.. |

I'm thinking just some light lubricant...maybe just wd40?.. No load on this motor... Any idea what size this motor is? ![]() dOCUMENTA13 – Thomas Bayrle Last edited by matt930s; 12-19-2014 at 07:18 PM.. |

I think it's a 2.7 (looks to be mag case, CIS pistons and still has the fins on the cylinder barrels).

Maybe they remove the piston rings so there is no friction?

Lol....they are amazing.
Wouldn't this thing make a cool table? Glass top, lighting and small electric motor to drive it? Damn, that would be a sweet Christmas present! BTW, that video only had a few hits until it got here at Pelican! MattR Last edited by matt930s; 12-20-2014 at 07:10 AM.. |

My guess is they treated all bearing surfaces with dry film lube.
