1983 Porsche 911SC Engine Assembly Part Two

[@charleseckberg1947]

Amazed at the level of attention to detail. The cleanliness of the block, chain boxes, heads, and cam towers. The factory fresh appearance of all hardware and air guides. Even the relief cut in the tin for the tensioner oil line is perfect. Real display of passion here. Love it!

It takes time to make it that way but it is worth it. S.

Porsche flat-six -modern technology from 1963! It is unbelievable how an excellent construction never ages.

Just found your channel. Awesome!

[@klassikats]

Awesome! Thank you! Kurt

Great content. When installing the the cam chain covers, you use gasket only, no sealant? What are the signs that the fan needs to be replaced? And are some fans better than others? There are different fan sizes and configurations. For example, I think it was 74 thru 77 that had 5 blade fans.

[@klassikats]

That is correct Sealer should not be used. Gasket surfaces need to be clean, dry, and flat. When it comes to fans Porsche used a number of combinations of diameter and fan blade counts. Fan design is matched to engine design and purpose. The most common reason that I replace a fan is for either wear at the Sheave or broken blades. Kurt

[@richardbrock-f6x]

Love the detailed and clear explanation of your work - could you also add torque specs - i am replacing cam chain tensioners and need the specs for the tensioner nut and the cover nuts - thanks

[@klassikats]

We have specific videos on our channel that are an actual lesson versus this one which is more record of work done. In our lesson videos I give all tightening torques as we go along as well as more detail about the specific job being done. You can find these under our rebuilding play lists Kurt

[@nevenmacewan1869]

Which Cerakote product do you use for this please?

[@klassikats]

I use multiple Cerakote products depending on what parts I am applying the finish to. For some parts I the "H" series paints which are a bake on finish. I also use the "C" series products for items that are big and also see less mechanical wear and tear. Lastly on polished Aluminum or Magnesium I use their specific clear coat products for those products. Kurt

[@nevenmacewan1869]

@@klassikats I assumed it was C for engine tin? Any particular black you prefer? Thanks

[@klassikats]

On this one I used Glacier Black Kurt

[@JoelCloninger]

You mention updated o-rings when referring to the rocker shafts. What is updated about them?

[@klassikats]

The fact that Orings are now used as opposed to the original build not using O-Rings Kurt

[@JoelCloninger]

Ok I see. Is it two o-rings per retainer? I have a problem retainer on cylinder 5 that is loose…again. I think I need these seals, a new retainer, new hardware and a new bushing

[@klassikats]

If your rocker shaft continually comes loose in a short amount of time, then the cam box is most likely worn and may need to be replaced. There are two O-rings per shaft, and the O-rings are only to mitigate oil seepage. Kurt

[@JoelCloninger]

Yeah that could be. This car sat for years and I got it going but it came loose. I think the same shaft was reused when it was tightened. It’s only that cylinder that has come loose. Is there a diameter spec on the can box bore for the retainer?

[@jeanlawson9133]

Thanks
