The beautiful 928S4 motor.
Hello, Pelicans. I hope this is a treat for those of you who have not yet had the opportunity to see one of these motors on an engine stand, and after a good cleaning (although not quite finished). This is simply a wonderful marriage of pure art and function, making them amazing to even look at. Quite impressive what you can do with some Citrisol, water, and a toothbrush.
Stay tuned for pics of the entire motor after the timing belt is replaced, and I put my valve covers and intake back on (anxiously waiting to get them back from the powder-coater)!!! ....Gotta go grab the timing belt covers out of the oven now. :P Enjoy.... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by Yellowb1rd; 03-09-2014 at 07:32 PM.. |

Your right it is a work of art and you never get to see much of the beauty.
The new PC parts look great. Please tell me your going to swap out that cork pan gasket for the orange silicone gasket Roger sells them

Looking nice. I don't care for cleaning much, but painting is fun.

Thanks Mrmerlin. Well, I talked to Roger recently about getting a Portensioner, and he's 6 weeks out for getting more, with or without air pump, which is why I'll just rebuilding mine, if need be. I didn't bother to ask him about the cork oil pan gasket (which I do have to replace the existing). Are the cork gaskets that bad?

I would use a new silicone pan gasket the cork wont last as long.
the silicone is a lifetime part
