Hi,
Well thought I would share this with ya'll since when my wife walked in the shop and saw me with a big smile on my face starring at a greasy mess, she said "I hope you are having fun out here, I'm going back in the house"
Split the case today and as I had suspected, it has been split before. I bought the car (69 911T) with unknown engine history. Unfortunately the only bad thing I found was that the last person who opened it up must have done so with a screwdriver!!! There are four bad gouges in the case which I hope can be fixed! This would explain the bead of silicone along the bottom half of the engine!
Well it is apart and while I am happy it went well, I guess the real work is to come!
Thanks for listening!
Derek
