85 - 911 Carrera engine top end rebuild.

[Dalmahoy]

Pulled the engine and gearbox out over the weekend there.
Engine is now sitting waiting for its stand to show then I'll strip the heat exchangers just leaving a bare block to drop off on the 29th May for its top end overhaul.
It's broke a head stud but whilst it's in bits I'll get the whole 24 replaced, new set of rings and get the heads overhauled.
Happy days and looking for to seeing the thing spit out flames again!

Pulled the engine without any problems:-



Once up on the stand - it's an impressive piece of kit:-



Noticed a couple of the cylinder heads were passing:-



Once on the stand - and looking the thing over, I've decided it's not a too difficult job and I'll do it myself.
I've ordered the cam sprocket removal tool and once here I'll continue with the strip-down.
Interesting times ahead.
As for the head studs - I'm already planning a long weekend in the states with some new parts waiting for my arrival.
Cheers

I'll post some photos tomorrow, cylinder heads, barrels, cam covers etc are all off and passing through the ultrasonic cleaner. Barrels are away being measured up (using lasers)!
Crankcases about to get split.
