ras62 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Tinware or equivalent is a must imo. Together with the magnesium lower deflectors it is designed to channel cool air past the barrels and heads in a uniform way to avoid any hot/cold spots. Its secondary function is protection. It keeps the crap from entering the engine compartment and the back two pieces protect cylinders and heads on 3&6 from weathering and eventual corrosion.

Yup, I'd like a bit of carbon to keep it retro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busybee Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 Thinking I need an engine stand to get exhaust bolted up and to clean everything up. Are the cheapos like the one below from eBay any good? Guessing I need a cradle? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F142331828130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris T Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 That'll be fine but I'd go for one with a higher max weight capacity. Not 'cos the engine weighs that much but it will flex and bounce less when working on the engine on the stand. Ideally yes you need an adapter/cradle the ebay one I bought is fine but I'm sure plenty of folk on here have a used one/loaner https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Porsche-911-912-914-356-Air-cooled-4-Arm-Engine-Motor-Stand-Yoke/264415532403?hash=item3d9064d573:g:vRUAAOxy--NRtOJq You didn't expect it to bolt straight in did you?

Busybee Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 Thanks chris. Anyone have a cradle spare I could borrow? Yup. I half expected Axel to pop out of the crate in overalls clutching a spanner! 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Gander Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 That K27 would be fine as a spare for my Turbo (that is if I still had it.....sob, sob)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
