machining advice
my 85 3.2 is out and disassembled - engine looks pretty darn clean on the inside after 220,000!- there was nothing catastrophic, just decline in power- pretty significant leakage on exhaust valves- split case as long as i was in the neighborhood and the engine has this much mileage....- building back stock so no necessary regrind for cams, etc
my question now is where to send for various machine work- have seen the various recommendations for shops - easy enough to say ollies, but i cant wait a year for a turnaround-so...heads will go to hoffman near atlanta- that is all they do, unfortunately!- am curious whether i can send crank and cams to be miced and polished to local speed shop or whether the recommendation would be to locate another porsche specialty shop- thoughts there?
and what advice re pistons and cylinders and rocker arms?- they look great- no pitting- is the usual drill to simply hone cylinders after measurement- what is likelihood i can use standard 95 rings on the rebuild or should i anticipate oversize?
basic stuff for you guys- firsrt rebuild for me- thanks for the help!
