Porsche 356 AT2 from 1958
The reassembling of the engine . . .
The distributor ring and camshaft ring are
new ones (old eaten by the oil).
As you can see on this picture, I cut the
rear part of a VW transmission in order to test my engine out off the car.
It's cheap and easy to do ! ! !
Here are the action performed on the
engine : dismantling, sandblasting and painting of the engine shrouds -
sandblasting and special rust treatment of the muffler and J-tubes -
crankshaft regrind, new rods and mains bearings - rods "616 type" installed
- dismantling,
cleaning and installation of repair kits in my Zenith carburettors -
installation of new spark plugs and new Beru plug wire set -
installation of a fuel pump rebuild kit - new brushes and new bearings in
generator - new valve's springs - valve job - new piston rings - new push rod
tubes - clear-cad of all the bolts and carburettors parts - new clutch
pressure plate and disk . . .
You will see now some pictures of my 1600
N ( n° 71432 ) !
After the total dismantling of the engine,
the crankshaft was regrind to 0,50 dimension on mains and rod's journals.
Instead of the "A rods", I used the rods "616 type" which are stronger !
As you can see on the picture on the
right, I made a "crankshaft support" using an old flywheel bolts. Very easy
and very strong to install the rods !
Others pictures ( from a Porsche 356
S90 engine ) will complete this series in the future.
This engine (which must still be
overhauled)
was bought to take the place of my 1600N engine. I hope that it will
"boost" the performance of my 356 A Coupe !
To
be continued . . .
For the transaxle, a simple
external rejuvenation will be enough ( cleaning, painting of axles and flasks,
new oil seal and new boots ) !
