I cobbled up a way to use my dial gauge to measure deck height. Here is #3, measuring .066". Again, my preliminary target is about .040".

And #4, measuring .073". The other two were in that range.

Soooo....I decided that I need to get the case decked, and to tear it all apart. So much for the weeks I have spent getting it all together. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Case split (after a newbie 10 minutes trying to get the case halves apart with one bolt still in place--duh!).

After a visit to the parts washer, I got most of the sealant and assembly lube off.

(having trouble with filespace--I guess I can add the photos later)

I then removed all the other studs, external and internal. The case halves are completely stripped, except for the two locating pins and the oil dipstick tube.

@bkrantz , Sorry you have to go through the extra work. I can't tell you how many things I've had to redo on my car. Still you're making great progress, kuddos for doing it right! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Sorry about the step backward Bob. But the fact that you caught the decking problem will make a huge difference in the end result. Keep up the great restoration work. It gives us all insight and inspiration. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

Got a new horn button. I would rather that my Nardi steering wheel (yeah, I know, heresy) have a Porsche crest and not a Nardi logo). Besides, it will be the only crest on the car.

Sorry you had to backtrack, but it’s all part of the fun right? Just curious… Are you using AA pistons? I found that the distance between the wrist pin and the top of the piston on AA is shorter than on KB pistons so the AA result in about .030 more deck height. When I switched to KB, the deck height was perfect. Only writing this here for future readers of the thread. You won’t regret getting the case decked and making sure that everything is perfect. The rest of your car is! Short term pain equals long-term gain. I like to call things like this “tuition” rather than a setback (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif). Amazing work as always…

Hi, Ian. AA Biral cylinders and JE forged pistons, sourced from Aircooled.net.

I am not too bummed about back-tracking. To enjoy this build means trying to do things right.
