964 Apprentice
 

Hello 964 Gurus!

I have had my 1993 964 for quite a while but have always brought it to this shop or that shop for maintenance and repairs.

I check in on the boards every now and then and really dig seeing the photos of the work you guys do on your cars and would love to have the know-how (and tools) to dive in myself. Even for some routine maintenance or even some work of more depth.

If there is anyone located in the SFV (Los Angeles) area who would be interested in teaching me some cool stuff to do on my car, I would really dig it. We could work out a monetary arrangement in trade.

My car needs a tune-up, has some lovely oil leaks (don't they all?)...

Let me know if I can work with you and learn!

Thanks!

Wasabi - there are a lot of DIY tutorials on the internet - look around. A lot of this stuff you can do yourself. Here is one website to start. It's for a 993 but 964 and 963 are very close mechanically. Plus, if you run into troubles you can ask for help on here and on other websites like rennlist.

Thanks Green993! I will dig into that site and see what I can do on my own. Will post when I do!

Engine Rebuild
 

Hi,

Great timing! I live in South Pasadena and it would be great to have someone to help me put my car back together.

I am rebuilding my 1992 964 engine. I will be picking up the crankshaft, pistons, cylinders, heads, cams, etc. this week. I will be bolting the crankshaft and crank case together next Saturday.

If you are interested, you can help me build the motor, replace the gearbox oil, replace the clutch, clutch master cylinder, install new powder coated engine tin, replace engine soundproof pad, install the rear bumper, break the engine in, change the oil again. The I will need to do another valve adjustment at 500 miles on the new engine.

I think this would give you the confidence to tackle just about any job on your 964.

I sent you an e-mail with my contact info. Would be great to have some help and film the assembly process.

Thank you,
Denis

I'm in!
