Go Big or Go Home: Clay's 914-6, MS3Pro Wiring in Progress Options

It begins:




Just arrived from Hawaii...







3.6L 964 motor. Destined to become a 4.0L with 993 RS cams. I am keeping the FI so it is a bit more drivable than the MFI motor I have now.

I actually started this years ago. I bought a 3.6, but it turned out to be unusable. But I had already bought the LN engineering pistons, cylinders, rods and stud kit to make it a 4.0. So now I get to use all that stuff!.

Seven stitches. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
As a reminder to timesert the studs on a set of cases that will squirm around with the added power.
The cost is so small and adds so much clamping force.
Use the new ceramic filled epoxy,ensure there are no risers on the mating surfaces.
Do check the mating case faces for flatness on a granite block or cmm,trial assemble and check the mains for straightness and sizing.
The lay-shaft's mid bearing journal looks ok,so,I assume the inserts too are in spec.
The pump has no plugs in the exposed ports,so I would inspect the pump for debris as a precaution.A single grain of sand.
These parts you have gathered have all the right stuff,and the idea of force feeding more air into them is thrilling.
Big Six gun,most suitable for the desert highway.

Thanks everyone for the sympathy on the stitches. As Betty says "It's not a good job until you bleed on it and cuss at it." Well, this is definitely a good job. I was inventing new cuss words when I cut my finger.

And typing is a bitch when you touch type and one finger is inoperative. I actually have to think about where the keys are located.
