Re: 356 Super 90 engine help needed

Hi Graham. I am still looking for parts, if you have a cam please let me know. I must admit, I haven't checked the crank/bearings to see if it has been ground, a soft crank would go that way very quickly I suspect. I have decided to rebuild it properly with a new crank and oil pump gears, too many u...

Re: 356 Super 90 engine help needed

Re: 356 Super 90 engine help needed

Thanks Steve.

I did wonder if an oil pressure gauge would be a good thing or just make you paranoid. I like your idea about an aluminium oil cooler as it's pretty damn hot in Singapore, I'll check that out!

Re: 356 Super 90 engine help needed

Thanks Roy. I was rather dissapointed and I think you are probably correct saying that the top end was all they worked on. The oil was clean when drained but the magnet was completely covered in very fine metal particles. When I installed the engine before starting it I cranked it with no plugs in t...

Re: What 911 6 pot distributor is this please?

Graham. I had exactly the same problem as you and modified the mounting plate to make it fit. You just need to make sure that one of the trigger poles (which you can't see) is in line with the trigger when the rotor is pointing towards the HT lead contact inside the cap, if you see what I mean. Othe...

Re: More 911 Parts to clear

2nd in line for the thermostat please.
Although my location is Singapore I spend a lot of time in the Worcs area as I live near Redditch.
Not that that makes any difference.
Cheers.

Hi Guys.
I need a pair of cams for a 2.2/2.4 T engine.
