Back in Action 3.8LRS w/915 gearbox

Faulty oil pump, what are the odds?

Third time is a charm with the following changes.

New 993T oil pump
Pauter Rods: replaced w/new ARP fasteners
Crank: replaced, and also cross drilled for better lubrication
Crank: new bearings
New oil cooler (I think the second motor failed to loose debris, likely the culprit)

Looks great, but the real question is, how does it drive?

Thanks...

I think the hardest part is breaking her in, I'm soooooo
tempted to go thru the gears with real authority....
1000 miles is going to take forever..... and it's raining, no 914 in the rain..

So, I'll post a few more pictures.....

craiger914 · 10-14-2009, 08:08 PM

Drive? It's a Porsche! Actually, this teener drives incredible, all the suspension has been done with some pretty nice equipment... 935......993....911....

I'm a MUTT!!

craiger914 · 10-14-2009, 08:12 PM

That was at the Dana Point Concours a few months back.

Craig, thanks for the phone call last week, the more pictures I see of your car the more I fall in love with it and the results of your vision. Jim
