968 resurection

[FIREMN]

Ok. new questions. & years sitting Junk yard rescue. installing reworked head. Aside from the FOE service,belts, seals, What else is suggested that i do prior to attempting t start.
Here is the rub. I don't want to put too much more into this in case the engine is toast. Except, i don't want to look back if all works as designed and have a case of the shoulda coulda woulda's while i was in there. So, a list that balances both is what i am looking for.
A tall order, but you guys have always risen to the occasion.
thnx.

FIREMN,

Drain the fuel tank---Pull and check the in tank fuel screen 928 201 081 04.

Change the fuel filter & clean the anti drain back.

Pull the injectors, test, and reseal.

Check the fuel pressure at the rail.

Just a beginning. Low $$ items.

Wondering if I should do the oil cooler. Since the exhaust manifold is off.. I may do some cam cover painting.

I would just replace the "O" rings inside the OPRV.

If you move the housing you need to have the "LATE OPRV alignment tool" ~$45 ( or do a recent search on how to lathe your own by Jurgen.

This TSB was published in 1990 and should still apply to the 968.





Correct sealing rings shown in PET
