Get a stand with 4 wheels. The extra stability is worth the few extra bucks. Get the P201 tool. Pelican or Mainely Custom by Design. Worth it as well in my opinion, even if you only use it once. ...

Where are the '78-'79 8.5:1 pistons and cylinders?

I'm rebuilding my 1978 911's engine to stock specs. By my inexpert eye, the Mahle nikasil cylinders should not be reused. Vertical scoring visible in all of them. 1978-79 pistons and cylinders are...

Nice find. I was hunting for arrow blue when I was in the market a few years ago. Couldn't find one, but I did find my second choice, a 1978 in continental orange. Love those non-metallic light...

I used a plain old pipe wrench on mine (1978 911, 3.0 L). Worked great. I found I needed heat on only 4 or 5 out of 24.

What was said above. My 1978 SC with functioning cat (well, presumably functioning) is extremely clean in the tailpipe emissions test. Well below allowed levels of CO, hydrocarbons, and NOx.

I would have $10K ready and be happy if it's less (with you doing the work). If you need new pistons and cylinders, and you buy a complete clutch kit while you're in there, that's around $5000 right...

Yes.

Gotcha. Pic was an optical delusion for me.

You gotta lock down the crankshaft to loosen the crank pulley bolt as well... well, maybe not if you have an impact wrench.
