I had a dream to install a 6, that was a few years back and I even got a 2,2T motor but the project didn't get off the ground, anyway as I have run out of things to do I thought I might resurrect the idea.
According to the PO the motor came out of a running car and I want to make sure that it runs before I commit to installing it. What do I need to do to get it running? I do not have a spare gearbox for the starter or an oil tank is there an easy way to fire it up without (or using substitutes for) these parts and what about the electrics, there is a coil but I think I need more than that? Any help much appreciated as I know nothing about these engines. PS: It looks like the motor has been opened up at some time there is a lot of sealer on the case seam behind the flywheel, do you think its been opened?   |

I have started to check over the 911T engine before installing.
As I have leak down testing equipment I decided to do a quick test on cylinders 1 and 2. Unfortunately the results were worse than terrible, it looks like both of the intake valves on C1 & C2 are leaking a lot. Where does this leave me and is my dream about to become an expensive nightmare?  |

Where does this leave me and is my dream about to become an expensive nightmare? Or, well on your way to building one of Porsche's all-time great engines: a 2.2S… This said as someone who agreed to use Solex cams in a 2.2 but wishes he'd gone with S cams for the sparkle. In terms of driving joy, the 2.2S is up there with things like the CGT, 917, and various GT3s. MFI and short gears only make it better… (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) |
