Installing A Porsche 911 Engine And Transmission 

Roger, Thanks for your support. Kurt

Glad you enjoyed it Kurt

Glad you enjoyed it! and your welcome. Kurt

Thanks again! Kurt

Thanks Greg for your support, and yes we have a lot more to come. Kurt

You are welcome! Kurt

Authi, We plan to do a suspension video and discuss the exact points you mentioned. Thanks for watching and thanks for sharing what you would like to see. It really helps us with video production. Thanks Kurt

That is a factory Porsche tool and is still available from Porsche. From time to time you can find them for sale on eBay or some of the forums. Kurt

Maybe one day!

It depends on what your end goals are. In this instance we were more concerned with the heat coming off the pipes and being put into the engine oil cooler and oil pipes due to header pipe proximity. When using stock heat exchangers the air moving thru the heater boxes reduces the exhaust heat being radiated back into engine components. As far a exhaust pipe stress fracturing due to excessive heat retention, sure its possible. However over what time frame are we looking at? The system like ever other part on the car is a consumable and will always require routine repair and or replacement. As far as ceramic coating is concerned I like it, and we are using it in a lot of different coatings on different parts throughout the engine and vehicle as whole. I have used it on exhaust component's but not in an insulating capacity and dont really have any data on that function. Thanks Kurt

Daniel, If you are running a 6 pin CDI system on your twin plug then yes absolutely shielded plug wires are the way to go. Also make sure that the secondary resistance is correct. you are looking for 10,000 ohms per spark plug total with non resistor plugs. Where the resistance is located in the system is just as important as how much resistance you have. You need to have 6,000 between the coil and the cap, 1000 ohms at the cap where the wire comes in and 3000 ohms on the spark plug plug connector. If you stay from this it will result in coil and or CDI failure. Thanks for watching Kurt

Nice work! Kurt

Charles You are correct the pump is capped and filled, and yes to change the oil in the pump is not an easy thing. Porsche did this on their race cars to reduce some of the load on the lubrications system. It is not something I would recommend doing on a street car.

We replaced two belts on this one, the MFI pump drive belt located at the back of the motor. (This one is much easier to change while the motor is out). And the alternator drive belt and pulleys were changed on this one as well. Thanks for watching Kurt

Some do have a gasket and some do not. It the axle has a steel cover over the joint then it does not use a gasket,. otherwise there is a small gasket that is applied to the stub axle coming out of the transaxle. Kurt

Clutch release bearing arm contact points, Guide Sleeve, input shaft splines, and pilot bearing. I use a high-pressure wheel bearing grease and use it sparsely. Kurt

yep that about sums it up. Kurt

Yes you can, Its still available I believe through the Porsche parts network. Kurt

We could do that, but i just dont have any Sportomatic customers on my books. Do you need to send us something? Kurt

Yes Kurt
