DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Sorry guys been run off my feet.
Basically gasket failure but no idea why (faulty batch?) and stopped wasting time trying to find out just rebuilt top end and as good as new again

Thats what i thought but it looks like it was cast that way

erm.... my tensioners do not match anything on here or google - they look like the standard spring loaded ones with the arm and cylinder to hold the spring but mine are manually adjustable with 2 black bolts on the side to clamp the shaft - any ideas?

Hello, my existing engine loom is looking a bit worse for wear after removal. Are there any recommended suppliers or does anybody make them up please?

Whilst my engine is out I may as well get my MFI refurbished. Did you get any further with this Tim or is it Tower Bridge Diesel or another?

Gents, many thanks for all the great replies and in depth advice. Just wanted to let you know I am not ignoring you and will take it all on board but as of right now I am a victim of the Carillion CRIME and need to focus on that but I will return.
Many thanks again, Jason

Thank you. Engine out now as compression figures all low, best was 100 worst 50!
I seem to recall reading that there was a bad batch of OEM head gaskets going around when I had it rebuilt - would this make sense?
O and gutted, honestly thought it would be loose studs

many thanks guys, will keep you posted.
911hillclimb, what oil do you use btw?

Hello, I need a little help I think. I have a US spec 1972 911 T/E mfi, I had the engine rebuilt at Bob Watson's in 2009 (9000miles ago) with E cams, barrels etc. Last spring it went in for an MOT and the mechanic called me up as there were serious oil leaks and a strange mechanical tick every now a...

Mick Many thanks for the information, I have to be honest I have not seen anything written about the secondary ohms before only the primary. However, I can tell you that the silver Brazilian coils are c*** from bitter experiance! Also the 3.2 coil works if you need a cheap spare for the roadside. Ag...

Sorry Bootsy I did try to tag this to an older post but it didn’t get a response. Could somebody help with this 1 please. I have been running a black Bosch coil 0221 118 322 (think its a 3.2) on my 1972 2.4T/e for a few years without any obvious problems. However, reading the posts here I should hav...

Ive been running the following black Bosch coil 0221 118 322 (think its a 3.2) for years without problems. Reading the posts here I should have the 0221 121 001. Would it cause any trouble on my standard 2.4T CDI electrics?

Now Sold, many thanks
