So all of the past posts were done in Nov/Dec 2021 and I've been away from the car for a year and a couple months. I'm planning on heading back soon to work on the car and see my mom who's 91! I'm just having trouble getting out of LA as I suspect I'll be in TN for awhile and so I will definitely miss Los Angeles.
But for now, I have a few more pics from the teardown:
A shot down the intake valves into the engine. Porsche do design nice entry ways for the intake charge. My 944 turbo is similarly direct and clear.
This intake is pretty dirty; the previous owner needed higher revs and more throttle! Not to worry, once together again and under my foot, this engine will rev highly!
Inside the sump. Doesn't look good but I took this off long after taking the heads off so the contamination is due to coolant leaking out and into the sump I believe. Nothing unusual in the sump except a plastic rivet from the baffle and some chain tensioner debris IIRC.
Not sure if the grey is grease from the IMSB or not. Anyone know?
The previous owner put a bunch of stop leak in the coolant which loaded the coolant with metal particles so the grey might be that mixing with the oil. I'm still figuring the best way to clean out all that gunk.
