PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

January Fun Run

Friends, Friends, Friends It is interesting through life how our circle of friends shift...one of life’s many treats. Certainly you have your friends from childhood, school years, single years, married with children years, work friends, social clubs, church, etc., etc. The best strategy for me over the years has been to have as many circles as possible. Many years ago, BA (before Annie), I moved around a bit and in every new town or state I went after two circles of friends first: church and bar. Needless to say, these circles did not intersect often. Here is a story of an unofficial PCA event, simply a handful of friends getting together for a “Fun Run.” These ad-hoc groups are often best when spontaneous (relatively speaking) and made up of just a few people. For that reason the names of the participants will remain anonymous….

I received an invite, right around Christmas, to join some guys for a drive up Palomar Mountain. The holidays for us involve some traveling and lots of time with family and friends so an opportunity to spend the day with friends and my car sounded fantastic. So it was all set, we would meet on Jan. 3 at 7am and start our adventure.

We hit some odd weather and road conditions...well, at least for Southern California. Hitting the Ortega early in the morning provides beautiful views of the mountains in the distance. However, our normal spirited drive over the Ortega would be a bit limited as we were forced to dance a bit with snow and ice at the higher elevations (up by Hell’s Kitchen).

Coming down off of the Ortega, we headed towards Temecula and the sun was trying desperately to peak through as we cruised past Lake Elsinore. Our first stop was a gas station. Off we went, enthusiastic to climb Mount Palomar, hopefully with little to no traffic. The sun was out, a bit cold but absolutely beautiful. A quick left to hit the final leg and much to our surprise the road was closed, allowing only four wheel drives with chains. Come on, now what?

Well, with the sun out and plenty of fuel, we decided to change our itinerary... keep going up to Hwy 79, hang a left to Hwy 371 (towards the Palms to Pines highway), right on Hwy 74 and drop down into Palm Desert. A bit ambitious, but it would turn out to be just fantastic.

Along the way in Aguanga, we stopped by a great little hole in the wall (on Hwy 79) named the Stagecoach Inn. If you are ever out that way, it’s worth a stop.

Our fantastic adventure ended with a stop by Walters Porsche to check out the new cars and have our cars enjoy a small “spa day.” While the PCA/OCR club has one of the most active calendars in the region, make it a point this year to reach out to a handful of folks and explore this beautiful area we all have the privilege to call home.

New Board Members New Board Members were inducted at Annual Meeting/Brunch on January 11th. Welcome to the Board, Monica Asbury, James Buck and Gary Labb!

Remembering Craig Adams Living a rich life means something different to everyone. For me it involves a loving family, as many friends as possible, working in an environment where you truly believe that you are making a difference and most of all engaging in hobbies that bring you pure joy. Craig Adams was one of those fortunate souls that really knew how to love life. His infectious smile and welcoming personality will be truly missed. We will have a moment of silence for Craig at the first 2015 AutoX on FEB 22 at the El Toro base. Rest in peace our friend.

Garey Cooper

EDITOR’S NOTES or meeting is always useful, as we have many club members who cannot attend these events for various reasons and, therefore, can share vicariously if not in person our club events.

I got a new ring for Christmas High atop the OCR Tower gleaming mirrored glass windows relieve the severely modern stretches of stainless steel that clothe the structure. Within, the cloistered staff can see out while the toiling masses below race by on asphalt ribbons of highway, oblivious to the care and concern in the tower. Care and concern for the club and the year of 2015 about to unfold, and Porsches old and new answering to the call of the road.

Thanks and all that A few months back I made a “call for stories” at one of our breakfast meetings and also made the same plea via some emails. I must thank all of the members that did respond, and we have had a gratifying input of articles. All of these are highly appreciated and reflect the depth and breadth of our members’ experiences in the Orange Coast Region. I find that many members feel their experience is not worth sharing, or perhaps not particularly noteworthy. In fact, in every story there is something that can be shared amongst fellow travelers and Porsche aficionados. Your view of a first-time autocross, or tour,

Some people feel that their writing skills or editing skills might not be up to the task of a written article as well.

Maybe they are going back to school experiences when the dreaded “essay test” was a feared semester ending ordeal….“compare and contrast,”etc.

I do remember those little blue books that we had when Millard Fillmore was President that were handed out for the essay tests...ugh. My usual feeling at that time in class was to write ALOT, and hope the quantity would wear down the teacher’s insistence on quality. In this I was not always successful. However this feeling of grammatical inadequacy should not bother our club members one bit as we have on hand trained and skilled wordsmiths to smooth the rougher edges on your undying prose. So, continue to contribute, please. It has been enjoyable receiving the articles so far.

A “do over”?

Wendelin Wiedeking was the leader of Porsche and arguably the architect of this company’s great resurgence in the 90s and early 21st century. He introduced the Boxster, Cayenne, Cayman, 996, and 997 deviations of the 911; and led the manufacturing side into the latest techniques of lean manufacturing (“Just in Time” JIT) processes, and saw Porsche come from about 12,000 units per year production to the present state of 100,000 plus, heading towards a target of 250,000. Unthinkable just a short while ago. In this he was assisted by a gentleman named Holger Harter, who headed the finance side of Porsche during these years.

Some 911 purists may see these two men as the responsible parties in the devolution of Porsche as a specialty sports car manufacturer into a mass producer of mom & pop grocery getters.

However, none can argue that they brought riches and growth to a company that was by all accounts nearly out of the car business. And as such they seemed fully installed within the Porsche family as operators of the business side of the family empire.

It does seem that at one stage, the thought that David could swallow Goliath took over what one might regard as common sense. By this I mean that it is alleged these two planned a takeover of Volkswagen. I would refer you to the histories of these storied car manufactures as there is much to the story and background. However this scheme did fail and led to the eventual ouster of Wiedeking as CEO, along with Mr. Harter. One can’t feel too sorry for Mr. Wiedeking, as he made a substantial fortune for himself in his time at the helm.

It seems, however, that rules were violated in the putative takeover attempt. Among these were that shareholders and major stake holders needed to be informed as ownership percentages changed or major strategies were in play. So, now the drama some years later takes a new twist and the “Suttgart Higher Regional Court” will face criminal charges related to the takeover attempt. This was after a lower court decided that there was not enough evidence to warrant criminal charges.

According to an article in our national magazine, the Panorama, there are also about 5 billion Euros in civil cases that are outstanding and related to all of this.

Stay tuned for more drama.

Book Review

Penske Racing Team: 40 years of excellence Review by Bruce Herrington

by Alan Hummel, Foreword by Tom Sneva, published in 2007 by Iconografix, Hudson, WI Roger Penske is a very focused individual. That is how he achieved his successes as a driver, businessman, and race team owner. Participating in the writing of a book about his racing would detract from that focus, so he has never done it. This book is written from the outside looking in because Alan Hummel had been a Penske fan since his own youth. The publication date means that recent events significant to Team Penske are not covered. It is, however, a fascinating and comprehensive presentation of the past, which is prologue to even future achievements

by Penske Racing.

The book consists of 14 chapters, consisting of chronological eras describing cars, drivers and events in which the Penske team(s) participated.

The chronology is, of course, somewhat confusing because of the fact that Penske was participating in as many as four different race series at once!

An essential element in the establishment of Team Penske as a successful endeavor was Mark Donohue. In the early chapters of the book, much of the text deals with Mark as driver/engineer/ designer, as with the rest of the team.

PENSKE RACING TEAM documents, in detail, the ups and many downs of Penske Racing. There are few references to Penske’s business ventures, or the finances of the racing team, but the quotation that Penske’s decision to enter NASCAR in 1991 was influenced by the fact that Penske had 15,000 trucks under lease in the NASCAR market area, is impressive.

Each chapter reads like a series of race reports about the efforts of the Penske team(s). The reports are detailed and well written narratives that make for a captivating read.

One becomes fascinated by the driver points races and the team championship standings, and eagerly devours the next paragraph to see who will be the new leader.

There are pictures with comprehensive captions, but they are mostly black and white incidental ‘clips’, not fullpage shots, and many pages are all text. Although borderline coffee table size, PENSKE RACING TEAM is not a book to casually flip through.

You do have to read it to get the full, comprehensive story of the first 40 years of Team Penske. There is even a new-to-this reviewer description of the intimate details of how CART came to be, and the subsequent creation of the Indy Racing League and its interfacing with CART. It is somewhat surprising to really come to understand how Penske virtually created CART, in opposition to Indy Racing League practices, then came to boost IRL into supremacy over CART’s successor Champ Car. It seems that politics is everywhere and always with us.

PENSKE RACING TEAM consists of 270, 8x9 inch pages with 75 color and 75 B&W pictures. Two appendices tabulate Penske Team race victories in the various race series, and the 20 Series Championships won by them from 1967 to 2006. This book should be available from your favorite bookseller (ask for it), and as this is being written it is on ‘special’ at http://www.motorbooks.com for $19.96.

All in all, PENSKE RACING TEAM presents an interesting and captivating narrative of the evolution of Penske racing, from “crew-cut, college boy challengers” dabbling in multiple forms of racing at once, to the dominant force in CART, then IRL.

We Joined the 150 mph Club Story and Photos by Mark Wallace

September was a busy month for Porsche Club of America members, as twentynine of us went to Stuttgart, Germany with the 2014 Fall Treffen Tour. The Treffen, along with a variety of other tours, is offered by Fast Lane Travel, which is one of the advertisers in our Pandemonium and Panorama magazines.

Members of our tour were from all over the U.S., including a colleague from our own Orange Coast Region.

For two days out of the six-day tour, we drove rented Porsches on the Autobahn.

I was driving a 2014 Carrera 4S. We chose our cars weeks before we arrived in Stuttgart and our driving group included Carreras, a Cayenne, and a Panamera that our leader was driving.

From Stuttgart, we drove south into Bavaria and, for a short time, in and out of northern Austria. The drive

south had us jumping into the left lane of the Autobahn, driving most of the time at speeds exceeding 100 mph. As we got into the mountains of Bavaria, south of Munich, we toured onto secondary roads through small towns and up into the mountains near Pfronten for our lunch at Schloss Anger Alp, an inn in a scenic mountain valley.

From the inn, we continued our drive through the mountains to the Seehotel Uberfahrt on Lake Tegern (Tegernsee).

This is a beautiful world-class resort high up in the mountains and the scenery was simply beautiful. The drive was estimated at 355 km or just under five hours of driving for our first day. The evening conversation at dinner was mostly about our first day of breathless driving.

The next day we were back on the road for 339 km or 4½ hours of driving, and

this time the Autobahn was ours as we headed back to Stuttgart. We had long stretches where we opened up our cars exceeding 150mph. I got 155 mph, while some members of our group managed to jump up over 160 mph.

Autobahn driving is disciplined; there are controlled speed sections and German laws dictate that no one passes on the right and that the left lane is for top-speed driving and passing only.

When you see the sign that indicates no speed limit, you get into the left lane, press the accelerator pedal to the floor and GO VERY FAST. Slower cars get out of the way or you move them out of the way. You go as fast as you can within the conditions allowed.

We were in two groups of cars and our driving leaders were expert coaches.

Our leader, Peter Sontag, gave us a

February 2015 PANDEMONIUM 11

running commentary on the walkietalkies about traffic conditions and the regions we were driving through. With his expert guidance and programmed navigation in our cars (in English), we all made each leg of the driving with ease, and at times, white knuckles. The two days of driving on the Autobahn was simply more fun that I ever imagined.

We spent a day with Porsche at the magnificent Porsche Museum. The company hosted a lunch at the Museum followed by a tour of the assembly plant in the afternoon, where we watched Carreras and Boxsters being

built. Fifty percent of all Carreras are black, the most popular color. We saw three 918s loaded on a trailer headed out for delivery. At the end of the day, we had cocktails at sunset and dinner hosted by Porsche on the wall of Castle Beilstein north of Stuttgart.

This was a total immersion Porsche day.

The tour included dinners followed by wine tastings at an amazing collection of restaurants in Stuttgart. We toured the Mercedes Museum in Stuttgart, which brings together many galleries of vehicles built by Mercedes with a panoramic telling of German industrial

history. On our last day, we visited the Saturday morning markets in central Stuttgart and went on a tour of Ludwigsburg Palace. Our hotel in Stuttgart was the Steigenberger Graf Zeppelin, a comfortable and quiet base for our touring.

The driving, the tours, the accommodations, the great dinners, were all first class. Peter Sontag and his staff at Fast Lane Travel gave me a flawless experience in Germany and memories that will last the rest of my life.

The Few, The Proud, The OCR Story by Marcia Salans , photos by various OCR club members Do you believe in miracles?

Saturday, December 13, 2014, was a gorgeous warm sunny day that received an enthusiastic, upbeat group of OCR members, families and friends in beautiful Huntington Beach Central Park. Remarkably just hours before unseasonably heavy rain pelted Southern California; but blue skies greeted an unbelievable amount of OCR members that just kept coming and coming – all bearing new, unwrapped toys for the annual Marines Toys for Tots Drive.

A variety of great food and terrific Porsche clothing and accessories displayed at the Goodie Store provided

14 PANDEMONIUM February 2015

a colorful backdrop for numerous spectator “meet and greet” displays.

Partnering with OCR, the Seal Beach based 5th Battalion 14th Marines (reserve artillery battalion of the United States Marine Corps), including three personnel in full dress military uniform and twelve camouflage; displayed heavy military equipment eliciting Oohs and Ahhs including two large trucks that children eagerly climbed up into as well as two gigantic 155 Howitzers.

Additionally, the Huntington Beach Police Department were proudly represented by three departments (thanks to OCR member, Lt. Bo Svendsbo) - a

SWAT armored vehicle, along with SWAT personnel gear and weapons, K-9 officer Wade Wilson and his 4 year old Belgian Malinois “Marco” and the new mounted enforcement unit and their patrol officers, trailer and 3 quarter horses.

Children had unlimited access to a jolly Santa Claus, creating once in a lifetime memories for children, parents and other park onlookers – many of whom quickly got into the OCR Porsche – Marines Toys for Tots’ spirit, actually leaving the park and quickly returning to contribute their donation of newly

purchased unwrapped toys – resulting in a record amount of 15 full collection boxes of Toys for Tots from the OCR member donations, surpassing anything the Marines had ever collected before at any event!

Special thanks to Denny and Monica Asbury for transporting an unbelievable amount of food and equipment at the crack of dawn to secure the Park picnic area and organizing the event; Mary and David Hong who tirelessly cooked burgers and hotdogs, Scott Fleener who managed crowd control and Sandy Schwartz welcoming all members and of course our secret Santa – Dick Sartor.

Also – a special thanks to Dave Wright who unselfishly gave his keys to the Marine Captain so he and his wife could take a short drive and experience the magic of a Porsche drive.

The annual OCR Toys for Tots event was a phenomenal success and another example of OCR Porsche membership community involvement and unlimited charitable commitment.

Rice’s Ramblings

Story and Photos by Lee Rice

911 1970-’71 *20 years sitting * bring back to life questions.

Suspension bushings - Transaxle mounting - Carburetors Hi Lee, I’m so happy the PANDEMONIUM has opened up this forum. I’ve got dozens of questions regarding this project. My 1971 911T sat behind a warehouse for 20 years having last run in 1991. I’m planning on replacing all the rubber suspension components, but could use advice on whether to go back with original style rubber or the newer poly graphite plastic bushings like those from Weltmeister. I want good handling with an acceptable ride comfort. I don’t have any plans for track use.

Two other questions for now: Why hasn’t anybody made a replacement for the rubber transmission mounts for the 70-71 model?

This is a critical component for keeping shifting smooth and the drive train supported. All the part suppliers list a replacement as NLA, and people like Wayne Dempsey say that only used mounts are available- maybe.

Finally, can you recommend a local- OC carburetor rebuild shop for the Zeniths?

My questions in the future will be on procedures to clean out the internals of the engine to remove any left over gunk from its long slumber. The crank moved when I pulled on the fan belt so it’s not frozen. Any insights for other things to consider will be greatly appreciated.

Mark 1. Suspension bushing replacement is simpler these days. I can report that I have replaced my rear torsion bar bushings more than once, and the early plastic types are not worth the noise on a street car. No matter what grease you use, they will make noise.

I replaced my late 911 Carrera trailing arm/spring plate bushings with Weltmeister -replacement rubber bushing. These were originally sold with the name, Neatrix.

Of course I had a total realignment and weight balance done. (Steve Alarcon at Johnson’s Alignment in Torrance, Ca. (310/370-6301). Steve has been my suspension expert for decades and is still the best I have found...so far.

Neatrix/Weltmeister is sold through Eckler’s-Automotion), makes NO NOISE and holds alignment (even with 500+ HP and 10”wide rubber on the back). Having said that, I know my wholesale supplier, SSF, which almost all Porsche service shops, including most dealerships buy from,

16 PANDEMONIUM February 2015

has their own improved torsion bar “polygraphite” material bushings and a “Rubber material bushing” going by the name URO PARTS. I have heard very good comments about each type from installers.

To fabricate this I had to install the engine, transaxle, up in position into the chassis with the engine mounts bolted in and mounting bolts tightened snug, DO NOT FORGET TO TORQUE ALL MOUNTING BOLTS LATER.

2. The TRANSMISSION MOUNT for early 911, much like 930 turbo mount, features non- replaceable vulcanized bearings (rubber ‘mounts’) in its steel “carrier” (frame). The G-50 does that too with a smaller, lighter, aluminum frame.

To be original you are stuck with them.

But that’s a dumb reason. Here’s why: Having said all this, I have modified and used the 1972-1986 915 transaxle steel transmission carrier to bolt-onto the 901, 915, 930, RUF 930/5 speeds, as well as my own G-50 short bell housing transaxle to the 911/930 torsion bar tube.

Note: 915 Transmission Carrier Nr. 915.375.033.01, with its 2 ea. replaceable mounts (Porsche’s parts book calls them: “Bearings- Nr. 911.375.043.00”*1).

With the engine/transaxle installed and positioned in place with a floor jack under the transaxle, you can position the steel carrier with both mounts installed loosely. Then lube both of the two M12 trans mount bolt, install, and tighten up to be just snug. Then snug each of the mount’s two, 8.0x1.25 bolts, washers, and nuts. Then torque to specification.

(M12 bolts -58’ Pound feet -3.2 Carrera WSM spec) With the mount bolts secure you can jack up the nose section to align the transaxle into the center tunnel. You can use factory shims or make your own shims with hardware store aluminum and install as necessary between the transaxle and the carrier to center the height of the nose case/ shift shaft in the tunnel. Once the shim(s) are determined

1 you then drill holes in the steel carrier to march the studs on the transaxle. I use a cardboard cut out template to determine and plot enlarging or drilling new holes in the steel carrier and align with the transaxle’s mounting studs.

Now you can perfectly center the nose case and the shift rod inside the floor tunnel. I use M-8 large area washers, lock washers, and plain nuts to secure the transaxle to the carrier. *1: I also use the stiffer and less expensive “Club Sport Bearings”. (M-637) 911.375.043.07.

3. The 1970-71 with Zenith Carburetors: I recently talked to HAUS of PERFORMANCE and learned that he has a vendor who re-machines and refinished these carburetors. They do the rest. As these vintage carburetors are becoming more difficult to find competent parts and re-builders this is probably a good solution. Haus of Performance is in Costa Mesa, Ca. Phone is 714 545-2755.

I would also suggest you remove all fuel from the tank, then remove the float-sending unit and inspect the fuel tank for water, rust, and crud in the tank. Some tanks have a fine mesh brass screen on them. They can be removed and reinstalled with a new seal, but the tank and lines MUST be clear of rust and

crud first, before doing anything with the carburetors.

4. Engine long slumber and gunk inside?

First I would drain the engine oil and remove the Oil Filter. I would also drain the filter and cut it open with metal shears and look for metal and anything else that shouldn’t be there. Removing the magnetic drain plugs on the bottom of the engine and Oil Tank should show evidence of any metallic debris that may be in the system and what was going on inside when it was last running. Look for anything unusual. Then remove the engine sump plate, screen, and two gaskets. Look for any junk in the screen.

You can move your fingers up, in, and around the oil pimp snorkel area and feel for anything in there.

Next remove the lower cam covers and look for anything that is not oil in there.

Then with the drain plugs removed, you can pour some fresh oil in the oil tank and see if it washes anything nasty out of the tank.

Then remove the air filter and oil breather hose from the engine. This is the big hose on the tip of the engine, forward of the fan shroud. With a funnel and hose, you can pour some fresh oil into the funnel and in the breather fitting.

It may take a few seconds but it should

You may see some lint-fuzz in the sump screen. You may see some gooey greysilver crud in the oil drain plugs. I wipe them with clean white paper shop rags and look carefully for non-magnetic metal particles. A small bit of fuzz and even very small amounts of metallic goo is normal. However if you see any particles bigger than a small grain of salt...you have a problem.

If that looks Ok, you need to remove the upper cam covers so you can squirt some oil on the cam lobes and then you should be able to turn the engine with the tool kit-fan pulley wrench-by hand and FEEL AND LISTEN FOR ANYTHING UNUSUAL. Your next need to insure the chain drive system and tensioners are working and taunt against the chains. A simple way to do this is remove the distributor cap and,

Twelve Minutes

Story and Photos by Mike Knudsen

In Memory of Craig Adams Twelve minutes. About the time it takes to brew a pot of coffee. Or a couple rides at Disneyland. Or to read a few Pando articles. It’s also the total track time most drivers get at our AutoX events. Eight practice laps, and four timed ones, each of which takes about a minute — less, if you’re fast. Those twelve one-minute laps are separated by much longer periods of waiting and corner duty. Most drivers arrive between 6:30 and 7:30 am, and stay to the end, usually around 5 pm.

They come for ten hours to have twelve minutes of track time. Commitment, addiction, or insanity?

Yes! Having spent last year, and my first, as official AutoX photographer, I had a trackside seat and paddock pass. The

obvious objective was to shoot the cars, especially the Porsches, though the club allows non-Porsches to enter, so I did shoot other makes as well. Along the way, I got to know some of the drivers, and the “why” of their attendance.

For some, it was obvious; e.g. SCCA members wanting to polish their skills, or PCA members after points toward a class championship. For these two groups, I learned the entrance fee was just the tip of the cost iceberg. Steve Abbott told me that, even if he didn’t break anything, just the day’s wear on his super sticky racing tires (which Christine Newcomer calls AutoXers’ “crack”) could cost a few hundred dollars — for twelve minutes of driving!

But I met a lot of others with little or no racing career aspirations. No special tires or roll cages. Mufflers intact, and street legal in every way. Daily drivers and garage queens. Driven in and driven home by ordinary PCA/OCR members.

Some were checking off a bucket list item. For others, it’s a ticket to “life in the fast lane,” even if only for twelve minutes. Knowing that you did is better than knowing that you could, isn’t it?

Others wanted to take advantage of the driver training available from our AutoX champions. Someday knowing the difference between oversteer and understeer might be important. And then, there’s the chat. How’d you do?

What did you change? Is that PDK really

February 2015 PANDEMONIUM 21

faster? How much did those tires cost?

But for all, it is something to look forward to each month. Everyone had that in common. Must have. The event was sold out nearly every month. So, if you’re looking for twelve minutes of some pretty intense fun in your Porsche, AutoX might be for you!

There are just three photos with this article. Sometimes a photographer gets lucky. Craig and Jim, all the best.

EDITOR’S NOTES CONTINUED FOM PAGE 7

Farewell to a Porsche Icon If you grew up in a certain time, Porsche was a very fierce rally competitor.

From that era I’ve just read that Bjorn Waldegard has passed away. Bjorn came from Scandinavia, Sweden to be exact, and seemed to reflect the driving ability that came from going lock-to-lock on steering a car over icy, and/or snowy roads. I’ve seen video footage of him at work and it is amazing to watch. In any case, he always remained in my mind as young but it seems that he has left us at 70. Sadly it seems that there is a passing of the guard going on as the pioneers of the 911 era are fading from the scene.

BESS I will conclude with a quick word

or several about “BESS” our “Big Expensive Sedan” that is a 2012 Porsche Panamera. As an update for you owners or erstwhile owners out there, she rolls along quite well. BESS has become our “go-to” for runs up and down the freeway to Los Angeles to harass our children and their families. There are no major repairs to report and no major upsets either.

I recently had to replace the original Michelins that she came with and chose the Michelin “Pilot Super Sports” which are also on our GT3. This is a great tire and may, perhaps, last a little longer than the originals….Porsches are known as “tire-eaters” and BESS seems to follow the tradition. These tires are expensive; about the same price as a small sedan.

Okay, maybe I got a little carried away about Mr. Wiedeking here, but I find it

fascinating to relate and I hope you do as well. I also hope that 2015 is a very happy year so far for you.

RICE’S RAMBLINGS CONTINUED FOM PAGE 16 using the fan pulley wrench, turn the fan crankshaft pulleys slowly and carefully.

The distributor rotor should move evenly with crankshaft movement. NO slack or play allowed. If you have slack there, it may be a distributor drive worn gear, or worse, a worn Intermediated Gear, and lastly (I’ve seen it) a worn I-gear to crankshaft woodruff key.

If all is Ok, turn the crankshaft and observe the rocker arm movement and cam shaft rotation... Does it turn evenly with the crankshaft’s movement? Of course the cam turns at half the crankshaft speed, but it should have none-to-very little play. Then turn the crankshaft backwards. There should be little-to-no lag on the cam movement. However, if your engine was upgraded with the 3.2 Carrera oil-fed chain tensioners, there will be some movement... by design.

They weep oil out of them, and they take a few seconds under oil pressure for them to purge and be taunt after starting the engine.

If you see the small gold-finished oil line

24 PANDEMONIUM February 2015

going to the chain housing covers, you have the upgraded 3.2 Carrera tensioners.

They are likely to be depressed. (You can use a small hand oil squirter and by removing the upper oil line connection, you can pump oil into the tensioner. It takes some patience. About 3-5 seconds a pump for 30wt oil). Earlier tensioners do not, or should not, have much slack in them, as they are sealed and should be taunt. If you have any doubts, you should remove the chain box covers and look at the tensioner, cams, chain wheels, plastic ramps, and hardware as you turn the crankshaft.

Then disconnect the fuel line and plug or place the fuel hose in a container and keep the ignition cap off the distributor and crank the engine with the starter.

Look for oil pressure to build up and to listen for the compression pulses as the engine cranks over. With repaired carburetors, fresh fuel, a clean fuel tank, new fuel filter, and secure fuel lines -you can try a start. Let me know how this progresses.

If this is all OK you can install the engine sump cover, and screen with two new gaskets. Then install the oil drain plugs with new seals in the oil tank and engine sump plate. Install the breather cover with the gasket installed correctly. I also smear a light film of Loctite 574 on the gasket. That never leaks so long as the cover is flat. Fill with fresh oil, 6 quarts for now. Now you can turn the engine by hand and observe smooth turning.

We welcome questions, inquiries, comments and ideas to help you enjoy your Porsche to the fullest...

What is on your mind?
