Alternatively, you can actually use an inexpensive, conventional, four-arm engine stand, the kind you can get from Harbor Freight or Pep Boys for $60 or so, if you're willing to fashion four small...

Terry,

As I said above somewhere in this thread, live and learn. I simply wouldn't have suspected you could make things rich enough to actually raise the oil level with gasoline, and still have...

I agree with Darkmoon. Your set-up looks downright scarey. To give you an idea how easy an actual drop is, I took mine out Friday, detached the transmission to check for leaks in there (there were...

I've never been able to register any oilk pressure when cranking. (Most 911's don't register anything when ayt idle!) From what you say, I think you're ok. Fire it up!

I put a '77 2.7 in an early '73 (had MFI, not CIS) which I think is close to what you're doing. I got by with simply replacing the existing fuel pump, up under the rear driver's wheel well, with the...

Lot's of good advice from everyone. Through all this keep in mind that the MFI system has a reputation for being difficult only because people don't understand it. Basically, it is no more...

You can do a good job of repacking without removing the seal. Just work on getting all the old grease out...messy, but easy...and then smoosh in lots of new grease. Be sure to use grease that says...

2) Alusils - re-ringing is ok, honing...

Here's a "trick" I've used that might work for you. The standard 2.4 Porsche ring is 1.5mm, or 0.0591" thick. The standard U.S. ring closest to it 1/16", or 0.0625" thick. The extra 0.0034"...
