Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
The new oil pump has been fitted. Also fitted a new oil pressure relief spring. It has fresh liqui moly 20w50 classic oil too.
I also welded up the top of one exhaust header to get a better seal against the head.
It's up on 4 axle stands at the moment so i am going to look at the front end justbto see if anything is loose or ill fitting.
Nearly forgot. I also ordered size 50 idle jets. Currently fitted are 55's and i just can't get the mix right.

Broke the engine mounts (again)... Second time in four years, and both occasions occurred at Tregrehan hillclimb! Time for solid mounts.

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Over the last couple of weeks I have;
1. Fitted my Simonson Speedster seats with temporary covers in the form of black sheepskin rugs - conveniently exactly the right size
2. Swapped my Dansk Sport Muffler tips for un-baffled straight through and slightly longer stainless pipes
3. Refitted original 912 air filters to replace my 356 'rock catchers'
4. Fitted factory phenolic carb spaces
Net result of 2 & 3 is a significant reduction in cabin noise (93db to 85db at 60mph), better throttle response and what feels like a bit more power. Really pleased with seats which are exceedingly comfortable even without proper foam pads.
No photos as was too busy enjoying the improvements!!

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
I fitted new 50 idle jets down from 55. Not as fiddly as i thought they were going to be.
Took it for a mixed road 50 mile drive and the difference is night n day. Will check the plugs after it cools down to check the burn. Oil pressure was as it should be.
