porsche 911 - crank visuals

its PRETTY easy to say whats CW crank - n´est pas?

it use to look like that.

actually i called and asked, what happened to my crank, and i wanted it back.

he didnt say why he took the crank away, but mumbled something that it was twisted...

but it sounded so much BS... he said that he can check somekind of crank to me, theres plenty of those old cranks... any ideas what is the price for a 66mm S-crank?

porsche 911 engine - teardown 3

Ok, this was a sad day...

i dismantled the block to see whats wrong...my idea was that when

aarnio racing decided to swap my parts from my 68 S-block (without asking me first...)

to a 2.7 block (i didnt know anything of the 2.7 block except it turned and looked otherwise pretty ok to me...) ...i thought from the beginning that the bearing line would be twisted OR there would be something wrong with the bearings...BECAUSE i had my 2520cc screamer running years ago.

and the crank was athe machine shop for inspection, but they said that its in std size allover, and they dont do anything to it, because theres no need.

it was a 66mm porsche 911 S crank. it came in the block with correct S-rods as well...

ok, you get the hint. its not the same crank anymore. the S-crank is turned to a normal crank...

so where the HELL is my S crank? ...i´m getting mad! (and maybe to the police officers...)

hmmmm, i wonder whats the price for those crank´s in std size? any ideas?

oh well, i was partially correct, when i loosened the bolts of the block, the engine started to turn again...let me think...the pistons and cylinders are also gone, there has been so much dirt when the engine was "rebuilded" that could have been making the really deep scratches on the pistons and cylinders. ...well this was the saddest day in my porsche hobby, BTW i originally bought the S-engine in 1988...

to be continued...

porsche 911 engine - teardown 2

ok, getting deeper in to the engine...hmmm, what can i say, looks bad, looks really bad. somekind of grime inside, but the biggest so far is that one cylinder is totally gone, really deep scratches, in the piston and in the cylinder, the others are still on their place.

I would be happy if the shortblock would turn nicely (now) but no, the seize-problem is still deeper ( wrong bearing etc...) i dont know what has been in aarnio racings head, when putting this engine in "shape" :-(

next i will take the block totally apart to see the "big one"

enjoy the picks. :-( at least ...i dont...

porsche 911 engine - teardown 1

ok, i had to start to take a peek, what went wrong with mister aarnio´s engine re-build. (it took 4 years to get it back)
First, i havent seen any other engine with so many nuts, washers etc in the intake ports, plus so much crap...huh.
i took off 3 heads and discovered lots of ugly looking foam in one cylinder, and some sand/sugar looking chrystals in one cylinder, and whats pretty strange, there was also missing exhaust studs...wtf? ...and the main reason is still unclear, why the engine is freezed. :-)

porsche 911 motors, aarnio racing & collecting parts

...like new webers, K&N filters, manifolds, vertex mag, race exhaust...

porsche 911 motors, aarnio racing & big mistakes

ok, i got back my 2520 cc six, in a really bad shape from aarnio racing.
maybe ill take it apart and check aarnio racings mistakes with the assembly, it only took 4 years to get the engine back. its basically a 66mm s-model crank, with S-rods, carrera 90 mm pistons and cylinders. some 46mm intake valve heads, the cams: they are missing...like many other parts as well. huh huh. well if ill have some vacation i´ll tear it apart. and with one "2.4 E-engine" i might get one working engine to my 912.

btw, if you need a working 1720 cc 912 engine, let me know. its for sale.

AARNIO "RACING" coming out...

well, the sagging "2,4" wasser-911E with 3-barrel webers coming out... :-(
cant help it, but i will take the engine back to aarnio racing...and try to get my parts back.
this episode is one of the blackiest episodes in my car history... :-(

in the same time i sold the recaro´s to denmark to Jens. maybe the porsche will see better days...
