I love these pics, it looks so (deceptively) simple when you show us all the steps. Very cool, I enjoy learning new things!

My hubby had a '75 911 (about 20 years ago) coupe with a magnesium engine, and it leaked oil everywhere, constantly. We were told that as the magnesium heats up (as it will on an air-cooled) that the magnesium expands, opening tiny gaps at the seams. And that the oil leaks would never really be solved because of the nature of the material. Is that true?
