Question: Why does it say '911 S CID'?

Now I'm not, by any means, looking to enter this engine in a beauty contest. However, I am trying to get all the junk off of it, so I've resorted to 'Engine Bright' and industrial strength Simple Green.

On a side note, I have realized one thing recently..... Life is SO much easier with an engine stand.

Looks good Rique! Where all did you put the FatMat? I have a new carpet kit I'm going to install this month and was thinking of FatMat(ing) the car first. How much did you end up using?

Hey AZ,

The Fatmat is going go on the firewall and in the doors. If I remember correctly, I ordered 25 ft. If you check back, I'll be putting it in either today or tomorrow.


As for last night, I decided on some 'Engine Bling'....

Before.....

Wow, my 1,000th post..... and I'm still not done.... crazy...


Tonight we are laying sound deadener..... It's not as fun as I thought it was going to be.

This is where I am right now, and I'm about an hour and a half into it. Decided that I'm going to be doing the floors just below the seats, as that seems more 'tinny' than the doors.

I put felt on top of Fatmat in my Corvette. Then I put the carpet kit in. Yes, it really worked great. Wasn't my idea. Someone with an acoustic engineering degree on the Corvette Forum suggested it.

Bee Jay,

Yeah, I was going to go with just the felt on the floor, then the carpet kit, but they give you ALOT of Fatmat. I just got done, and I covered the firewall, the lower firewall, the floor under the seats, and both doors. I already had the felt on there but then said 'screw it' and ripped it off. I'll be putting on more tomorrow.

All done. Ok, so with 25sqft, you're able to do the firewall, the lower firewall, the rear part of the center tunnel, below both seats, and both doors. I actually wasted a few feet getting pieces stuck together, had I not messed up I could have probably done the forward part of the center tunnel. It's pretty easy, as this only took me about 4-5 hours. I used Fatmats 'Mega Mat' which was about $70 for 25sqft

A few points...
-The stuff doesnt start to stick until you really put it on there and roll it
-If it gets stuck to itself, forget about it, it's stuck, move on to the next piece
-Measure, measure, measure. Lay down the piece and use it as a stencil if you have to
-Do it with your carpet kit out..... ask me how I found this out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
-The doors are noticeably heavier, and now close with a 'thud'


I forgot my iPhone at home yesterday, so I took these pictures by holding my laptop up.... It's harder than it looks.

Of course, the trimming of the valve covers.

A few weeks back, I asked about taking down the valve covers. I'de seen alot of answers, but could'nt find a definite about to trim, so I just put it on the machine, and took it down to about .005 about the mounting holes, in order to shave off a little more tomorrow.

..... I suppose I could have done it with a sander, but that just freaks me out.

25sqft is definitely enough, with 50 I could see you doing the whole car and the firewall and rear floors 2-3 times or the car twice.

Came in this morning, and found my valve covers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) humping (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) another engine....

Just finished reading the whole thread. Nice work!

I can't wait to see how your no-chrome mission turns out. I'm considering going the same way for mine.

Thanks man! I'm stoked to drive it atleast by this summer! I'm su=ick of looking at it....






Decided to tackle the fan and shroud last night before going out on a Friday night. This was also a good opportunity to check out the condition and clean the alternator.

Disassembling the fan from the alternator is quite easy, ESPECIALLY when you have Wayne Dempseys book 101 Projects for your Porsche 911. All you have to do is remove the nuts on the back of the fan housing, disconnect (and mark) the wires that go to the alternator, disconnect the main nut on the front of the fan, and 'tap' out the fan/alternator from it's housing. I took this opportunity to sandblast and clean the fan, housing and alternator......

Keep in mind when painting the fan, this is gonna be the coolest part.... that absolutly no one sees (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
