So how would an aircooled car compare?

I haven't seen an equally well done video of that.

Cheers...

I would say for the aircooled basicly the same, exept the coolant thing

which makes it easier....

The air-cooled "oil thing" is almost equal to the coolant thing. Maybe a little messier.

Here is a short time lapse of the motor being reinstalled - enjoy!

Hi Barry,

We pulled the motor to weld the coolant lines to part of the manifold. This car is used for tracking as well and we didn't want to take the chance of dumping coolant on the track.

Great job guys, and something I wish more would do for the track

Check out the video of the above GT3 on the track after getting the coolant lines welded together!

Great job! How many hours of labor and avg cost of coolant welding if done professionally?

Not sure about the cost, but the procedure takes about 6-8 hours.
