first motor drop for head studs. what tools?

[carl74344]

i am going down to short block. lower steel head studs, re seal, heads re-work. i have a 1982 911 sc. 48, 000 miles.
i have all the average auto tools. air and hand .

PORSCHE:
cam holding tool
spark plug tool
stud removing tool
cis gage set
porsche motor stand mount

ps. with the low mileage should i remove pistons with the barrels?

i have read a lot of other threads and feel i can do this. thanks to everyone for what i have learned so far..... thanks carl

Post this in the Rebuilding forum and you will get a lot more info:

Do you have Wayne's Book on engine rebuilding? That's a good start.

Buy Wayne's engine rebuilding book. It has a great list of tools in it along with most of the special instructions and specs you will need.

i have both Waynes books and the Bentley book. i just do not want to buy tools i will not use but want to have the ones that really work. i know that sometimes people have found ways to make things work easer. i want those tools. thanks ...carl

I have lots of tools I can loan you. Since you don't have 3 million posts, you can give me a deposit and then I will return.

Indicators for cam timing and crank play
Tools for setting valves
Camshaft (old style) crows foot and special socket. Don't know when they switched over.
Special off set tool for intermediate shaft (I think that is what it is for)

They are sitting in my tool box and they are idle. Don't mind helping a bro.

Advise.

If you're going to replace the lower studs or if any are broken the cylinders will most likely have to come off.
