Thank you Tony and everyone else in the 19-20 class. Thoroughly enjoyed my time there, even with the 14+ hour transit with flights and all. Tony's demystified the seemingly daunting task of 911 engine rebuilding and I can't wait to start mine when the time comes.

Now to find a deal on a set of 3.4 cylinder kits...

Thanks!
 
I just wanted to say a big THANKS to Tony and to the other members of the 9/23-9/24 class for a great experience earlier this week. Tony, it was clear that you (and your wife) put a lot of time and energy into organizing this. Thank you! The opportunity to practice several of the assembly steps - especially cam timing - was invaluable for me. Can't wait till my engine parts come back from the machine shop now... Thanks again and wish everyone the best for their rebuilds! :D

Couldn't agree more on the praise for Tony, his wife, and the class. As a bonus, was part of a great group.

@RobertDurff - don't forget to let us know when you're hosting all of us to come help re-assemble your engine! lol

Evan,

There were a few European PP members registered in the last WORKSHOP but could not attend due to personal reasons. I could provide their names to you in a private message. Talk and discuss a good time for this group to attend in 2025 and I will make it happen.

I will refer to this group as the EURO Group. We need at least 4 people to compose a group. PM me if you are interested. Thanks.

Tony

Thank you Tony, what a great class. Tremendously thankful that you give back to the community by hosting this event. Very much made me remember why I enjoy the aircooled world so much. Can’t wait to apply the skills we learned. Thanks again.

Hi Tony, I want to thank you again for the Sept 16-17 workshop. What a fantastic learning experience! And such a nice group of people to attend with. I also wanted to let you know that I gained a lot of confidence from your teaching and the group. So much so that I returned to Portland OR and immediately proceeded to tear down my 1970 911T engine. I finished it this past Sunday and will take the various parts to an experienced machinist this Thursday in preparation for the rebuild in the winter. I couldn’t have done it without you and Amor, who also worked so hard to make our classes possible. Some pictures from my tear down are attached. Thanks again! Jonathan

This class was recommended to me by a friend. If you do another class I’m in.

Black 911 10-16-2024 04:39 PM

I just wanted to say a big Thank You to Tony! This was a very interesting and enjoyable class. I’m so happy I had the opportunity to finally attend. Tony is great! I also enjoyed the chance to meet some fellow enthusiasts and enjoyed those conversations as well. I would highly recommend this class to anyone thinking about.

I just came across this discussion and the class. If this course, or any courses like it, are conducted again, please let me know. I'm absolutely interested and have an engine just waiting for a little love and attention.

What can I say! Tony is the most generous person I have met in this Community. His knowledge and understanding of what hobbyist Porsche owners need and are looking for is what sets him apart. Having him contribute his knowledge, knowing where the pitfalls are, and getting us over the "Fear" factor is immeasurable.
A Very Big Thank you to Tony and his very patient wife, who puts up with all of the "Nonsense"
Have a great Holiday Season.

DocG 12-21-2024 04:17 PM

I can't recommend this class enough. I took the last class and Tony is a gift to the Pelican community. The class was incredibly informative and really demystifies working with these engines. Everyone in the class is incredibly supportive. I would love to take the class again.

Future Engine Rebuild class
 
I am interested in taking this class if it is run again. I have a 1972 911t Targa that has been sitting for about 20 years in my garage. It was engine was rebuilt in the late 80's.
I would like to get it running again and back on the road.
