MaxzmusSC Posted 7October, 2013 Report Share Posted 7October, 2013 I had these arrive ready for me to work on as time permits. Do share the details! For your current motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvs11 Posted 7October, 2013 Report Share Posted 7October, 2013 Yeah would like to take a proper photo.. outside, during the day and with something other than an iphone With decent daylight it is possible to get a good image from an iPhone. Although they're just about useless indoors or in artificial light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamWolf Posted 10October, 2013 Report Share Posted 10October, 2013 Do share the details! For your current motor? Triumph bike EFI throttle bodies on weber style manifolds. Yes, I'll be fitting them to my current motor, and will change them out for a 3.2 manifold when I go turbo - eventually. Uncle and I pulled the motor out this evening so I can do the tensioners and clutch. Also, I fell over a flower pot in the dark, and decided if that was how it was going to be I may as well have some more beers. After lots of swearing we managed to separate the gearbox from the motor. Not knowing about the bolt-and-spacer trick I ended up undoing the pressure plate from the flywheel through the starter hole.

Harvs11 Posted 10October, 2013 Report Share Posted 10October, 2013 Bolt and spacer trick? Do tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamWolf Posted 10October, 2013 Report Share Posted 10October, 2013 On the 915 box the release bearing carrier must be turned so that it will pass the clutch fork. this is hard to do, so a bolt and spacer must be inserted in the three threaded holes accessed through the starter hole. This draws in the pressure plate, giving enough slack to turn the release bearing carrier. *EDIT* On the later (post 70) helper spring type box the clutch fork circlip at the bottom of the arm MUST be removed and the helper arm slid off the shaft. First I knew about it was when we couldn't separate the box from the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamWolf Posted 10October, 2013 Report Share Posted 10October, 2013 Not yet. I have some of the engine removal I just put up on PB but it's blocked at work. I'll find some PP images. *edit* here's some. From this thread http://forums.pelicanparts.com/911-engine-rebuilding-forum/657811-seperating-901-transmission-engine.html "Right about the 1970 model year the clutch arrangement changed from a push type to a pull type. What this may mean for you is that you need to turn the flywheel until you see one of three rivet heads appear. These are threaded internally. You need to make or buy three spacers. (.50 O.D. x .25 I.D. x .25 long) Screw a M6 x 12mm long socket head screw through the spacer into the threaded rivet head. Rotate the flywheel and do all three. Tightening these screws will remove the tension on the throwout bearing. Now, take a screw driver and through the opening (right/top?) in the tranny housing rotate the throwout bearing 90 degrees, until it is free from the fork. now you can remove the tranny. PS: before you do all this, try unscrewing the adjusting screw on the clutch release fork. This would free everything up enough on my 71E to allow me to rotate the throwout bearing."

Aussie944S Posted 11October, 2013 Report Share Posted 11October, 2013 Changed my old radiator for the new one... Gave my self a nice warm coolant bath also.... need to remember that what's warm to the hand is most always burning to the face. I'm sure the bloke that designed the little rail below the radiator drain plug, laughed and laughed when he designed it knowing full well that no matter what angle you attack the drain plug at the minute the coolant touches the rail it sprays 360°. Guess I should invest in the radiator drain plug hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberpunky Posted 11October, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 11October, 2013 I just picked up my car after getting a new clutch fitted and it is so nice having it work as Porsche intended. The old clutch was worn down to rivets and about 4mm thick so was lucky it held out as long as it did. Old one was about 15 years old.

SteamWolf Posted 12October, 2013 Report Share Posted 12October, 2013 The Porsche Shed Far out CIS is an untidy system. Can't wait to bin it for EFI. Clutch was in ok condition, but the oil from the Triangle of Death has glazed it. Rear main is thankfully spotless. Peter M 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamWolf Posted 12October, 2013 Report Share Posted 12October, 2013 Sachs clutch is lighter than the one coming out, and there's no leeway with the stock flywheel. They are very thin already! Rest is getting a tidy up for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxzmusSC Posted 12October, 2013 Report Share Posted 12October, 2013 Awesome. Do you have a pic of how tilted the car was in order to drop the motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 12October, 2013 Report Share Posted 12October, 2013 you doing the chain tensioners too Jim? and what's the 'triangle of death'? the oil breather? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamWolf Posted 12October, 2013 Report Share Posted 12October, 2013 no pics of the tilt but it was probably a foot higher than on the stands. Russ, yep, fitting up the oil fed tensioners finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
