Porsche 928 Resto: Episode 14 - Towers, Tension and Timing

In this video I get the Cam Towers back on, and then put together the front of the engine - the tensioning of the belt proved to be 'interesting'

I have to say, I’m really impressed and thoroughly enjoying this rebuild on one of my all time favourite cars!!! Keep these films coming, you’ve got a fan in North Yorkshire 😊

Really enjoying watching this David, thank you. Appreciate the time an effort involved. I have no doubt your example will have inspired others to think ‘maybe I can do that’.

Thanks!

[@patrickhostler5939]

Bring on the next ‘sumptuous’ episode 😊

[@DavidJohnson-nh9io]

Thanks! Next episode is brewing…

Nice progress. You are getting there !

[@StevesMachines]

Did you notice at a few seconds after this point 24:40 there is a drip from the engine, down and left from the tensioner.

[@DavidJohnson-nh9io]

I’ll check; I think it must be the tensioner leaking - wasn’t sealed at that point. And there were no other fluids in it.

@@DavidJohnson-nh9io Fingers crossed its nowt to worry about :)

[@christopherwright1795]

Can I ask did you do anything to resolve/ restore anything to the bores which you said were shot ?

[@DavidJohnson-nh9io]

Apart from my homeopathic re-finishing nothing. My view was that if I need to get into bigger bores, then that’s bigger pistons etc etc - so I’ll see how crap it runs and then figure out what the best plan is. My current hope is that it may be a bit oil thirsty but relatively high functioning - we’ll see.
