Building another engine for future sale. This one is a 3.2 short stroke. Pauter cranks, canyon head studs, JE 10.5 pistons in Mahle 98mm cylinders. 964 oil pump. Cam for EFI. Twin plug heads with asco valve springs and retainers.

More to come.

Love to see engines getting built like this. Works of art!

Short stroke 3.2, would it wind up being less than a 3.2?

It’s built on a 3.0 case with 98mm pistons and cylinders. Same cylinder as a 3.2 to 3.4 but the piston needs to be sized for a 3.0 rod. It’s a tried and true combo.

Cleaning up the cam towers. Removed all the studs to replace with new. It also makes it much easier to clean the sealing surfaces. Removed the aluminum plugs and oil spray bars to install new. This greatly reduces the chance of debris obstructing oil flow. These parts are 45 years old…. A couple times in the ultrasonic and then blow everything off with compressed air.
