Picked up the 911 on a wreck-truck to drop the engine at UZI on an early morning
Tsuuyama-san starts the engine drop of my car, completed within 45 minutes! he was so fast I barley had the time to take photos in between, by the time I finished having a conversation with the garage owner the engine was on a carriage! I was seriously impressed!
Once the engine was dropped, we had the body shell carried over to RWB where Nakai will finish the body work simultaneously.
while the car was sitting down waiting on Nakai's busy schedule to free up from track-day events and international travels, I had the time to do some preliminary work on removing bumpers and other parts.
meanwhile, the engine rebuild at UZI began to disassemble the intake and cam shaft covers, clutch and muffler. The oil has been leaking from different areas. Next we are removing the cylinders and the pistons.

After disassembly the case was split,and the engine crank was removed with the metal parts from the engine case removed. also the oil pump to be updated to a 964 oil pump.
we found out that the last person who rebuilt the engine replaced half the engine case bolts with aluminium 993 type while leaving the other half from original parts
quite dumb i know...
