OCR Board Meetings All members are welcome to OCR Board Meetings, held after the breakfast meeting at Original Mike’s.

Note: Italicized text represents events outside of OCR sponsored events. Links to Zone 8 events can be found at www.Zone8.org. * Event dates subject to change.

OCR’s Annual Toys for Tots Drive Will Soon Be Here!

While we are in the process of securing the date, please help this year’s Toys for Tots be bigger and better than last year by attending. It’s a family affair, and we always have great participation and support from our members, and we hope the tradition will continue.

We expect to hold the event at the Huntington Beach Central Park Picnic Shelter and have the same great contribution of K-9, Mounted Police and the SWAT Team displays from H.B.P.D., as well as the Few, the Proud the Marines!

Here’s a ‘friendly’ idea.

If you’re hosting an upcoming get together, how about asking the guests to bring an unwrapped child’s toy rather than a host/hostess gift??

We’ve successfully turned frowns upside down during the Holidays … let’s keep up the good work and put a smile on a child many times over!

Thank you for your support.

Making of a Garage Queen When Annie and I decided to purchase our first Porsche, an “investment” (at least that is what I tried to sell to Annie), it pulled more money from the piggy bank than our first home. It was for two primary reasons; to get into performance driving (sure, I AutoX’d the ‘66 Mini once a year; however, does that qualify as “performance” driving?), and also to enjoy my drive every day in the car I love. Well, after ten years, and ~142,000 miles later, it has worked out very well, although a few things have changed.

Almost four years ago, I purchased a dedicated track car, my beautiful RS America from St. Paul, Minnesota

(thank you, fellow PCA member, Phil White!). About six weeks ago, I decided to return back to EMCOR Mesa Energy, a company where I worked in the late 90’s, and now my daily commute involves a Ford Escape.

Will I……?

How does that saying go about casting stones…. I now find myself faced with a Garage Queen; albeit, well deserved after a decade of wonderful daily driving experiences. So what does it all mean?

•

Will I too slip into a spiral of constant polishing? What will the track guys say now, I’m already

getting some flak for how clean the RSA is at track events, can a person overdo the “wax on - wax off” ?

Watching the weather report so as not to take my car out in the rain?

This may not be an issue as it appears that every year I get older, I seem to check the weather more frequently anyhow, not sure about this one.

Plugging my newly appointed Queen on a battery charger for fear of having the “one perfect moment” ruined by a dead battery? Never a problem in the past, but possibly one more thing to add to the “to-do” list.

How about the investments I will need to make in dryer sheets to keep the mice away from my nice warm engine? Knock on wood, the occasional mouse in the garage does not seem to care for British wiring, but who knows; these little vermin may be kraut fans?

My tire budget strategy will need to change…. Mixing in the race tires for the RSA with the “daily driver needed to get to work” was an effective shell game with Annie…. hmmmm.

For those of you having no idea what I am ranting on about the only thing I would say is, “can I join your club?”.

I suppose the rubber will hit the road (or not) when we get our first rain to determine if I comply with the full “Garage Queen” requirements, good news is that at our rate that might not be until 2018…. Well there is still hope, I promise to at least take my Queen offroad when the road conditions or photo opportunities demand. Happy driving (well at least on the weekends... )

LETTERFrom the Editor Story and photo by Garey Cooper

turbocharge somewhat of a challenge.

My old 2001 996 Twin Turbo had twin air-to-air intercoolers mounted in each rear flank. There were side strakes that allowed the air to flow into and through the radiators, which incidentally served to visually differentiate the 996TT from most other 911 models of that era.

Garey & Granddaughter Hudson Rose in Vermont on the way to Porsche Parade

All manner of demon may manifest At this, our October fest We wish your Porsche or 911 May always drive like a slice of heaven Save us then from mechanical blight And things that go bump…in the night

Is it really?

Yes, it is October or at least time for me to write the October Column. For most of us in California, there aren’t really “seasons” to signal when and as the year turns. From January to December, we can have weather that seems pretty much the same. How lucky are we?

Pretty lucky as it turns out; particularly, when you read of people in colder areas planning on when to “put up” their sports cars for winter storage. In the big “OC”, or Orange County, we can drive year round in our sports cars.

But, then again...

However, nowadays Porsche makes not only funny little sports cars but also big and small sedans and SUV’s. So not EVERY Porsche need be laid up for winter. Instead, maybe “winterized”

with different tires or even motor oil should it get really cold. I recently had the opportunity to drive a Macan and was mightily impressed. This car, or mini-SUV, or cross-over, or whatever you call it…handles well and drives very “Porsche like”. And it will ingest and transport tools, fools, and even footstools, while keeping I think a little, tiny bit more of the 911 DNA. Hmmm, is there a new(er) car in the Cooper family future? Watch this space.

Turbo Everything

Now that many of the newer chassis releases by Porsche are turbo-charged, there are quiet engineering technologies being deployed under the skin of these machines. One I have just been reading about involves the “indirect chargeair cooling” on the new Caymans and Boxsters. An article in the latest Porsche magazine, “Christophorus”, describes this system. Essentially, the mid-engine design of these cars makes keeping the incoming air cool after it has been compressed through the single

With the motor so buried in the depths of the middle engine Porsches, this arrangement is, I guess, impractical to package, that is air-to-air for the 718’s.

So, Porsche has utilized water-cooling to keep the incoming compressed air chilly enough to promote nice, efficient combustion. The article states that compressed air before cooling can reach 335 degrees F, much too high. Hence the deployment of this new design scheme.

Reading this reminds me of two things actually.

First, that Porsche has been, and continues to be, a master at packaging complex systems into what are by today’s standards relatively small platforms, or cars. There is certainly no wasted exterior or interior space in either the Cayman or Boxster. Thus, it is impressive that the technical crew in Stuttgart are able to accommodate the extra challenges of the new motor design without growing the chassis dimensions.

Secondly, the rich and successful racing background of Porsche has provided much archival information that has given pointers or hints to today’s engineering teams. Porsche was a very early adapter of Turbocharged motors,

Book Review Story by Bruce Herrington

PORSCHE Boxster

THE 986 SERIES 1996-2004

By Brian Long, Published by Veloce Publishing.

Like all Brian Long books, this is complete and very detailed, but without the quotes from factory personnel used

by Leffingwell and Ludvigsen.

The book begins with a detailed discussion of the genesis of the 1993 Detroit Show Boxster Prototype design, including Porsche’s envy of Mazda Miata sales success, and the influence of the sales of the 1993 964 Speedster.

Some 550-RSK ambiance features that never made it to the 986 production design are also mentioned. There is also commentary about the importance of designing the Boxster to be ‘fun to drive’, promoted at the Paris presentation as “reawakening the passion of driving”, a concept which Porsche seemed to abandon with its recent announcement of an era of automatic-only cars. The Boxster design process, as described, reeks of paralysis-by-analysis, with four separate design programs reaching the full-scale mockup stage, only to have the front in of the production car be ported over from the 996 Coupe to save production costs.

PORSCHE Boxster is very well illustrated; if you like to look at pictures of Boxsters, their components, and cutaway drawings, this book is for you.

Individual year versions are described in great detail, as are various options, and historic black and white pictures of the early antecedents of the Boxster are included. A unique touch in this Porsche book is the inclusion of pictures of events in Japan and of Japanese

advertising materials.

Also included is discussion of, and quotes from, comparison tests made over the model years by various (mostly US) automotive magazines.

There are five chapters, beginning with “The Boxster Concept” and ending with “Face-lift and Finale”. There is a one page, four-column index, which seems rather cursory compared to the immense amount of detail in the text, but it does list references to six individual members of the Porsche family. Possible skimpiness of the index is compensated for by the roster of Appendices: 1) Concise Buyer’s Guide, 2) Year

by Year Range Details, 3) Engine Specifications (by type code), 4) Chassis Numbers, 5) Sales and Production Figures.

Any owner of a Boxster of this era would be fascinated to find, in this narrative, just exactly how uniquely the features of his/her car differ from others in the series. Even the various wheel shapes and sizes available each year are discussed and/or illustrated. Detail is so specific, that changes in window washer nozzles and seat backrest release button profiles are mentioned. Hidden changes in engine and transmission internals, and

suspension components/configurations/ specifications are described. Photos are included to illustrate differences in appearance options. These Boxsters came with so many individual options and option packages that “trying to establish what is standard for any given year is virtually impossible.” Only by studying this book, can the owner of a 1996-2004 Boxster know exactly what he/she has, and how it differs from earlier and later cars, or differently configured contemporaries.

The owner of a Boxster, of any vintage, will find the discussion of the development and evolution of the initial Boxster concept to provide extensive fodder for trivia discussions, and useful insight into the character of all production Boxsters into the modern day.

PORSCHE Boxster is hardcover, with 160, 10 x 10 inch pages and 200 color photos. It should now be available for $55 from your favorite bookseller (ask for it) or from Motorbooks.com (which will bring up a “Quatro” page reflecting the new umbrella corporation).

AUTO-X CORNER

An Autocross Day on the Water Story by Don Chapman, Photos by Paul Novotne Beautiful morning sunrise over the Harbor

As the Autocross event day sponsor, my wife Jody and I, at Surterre Properties, were very proud to be a part of the inaugural waterfront event held on August 14th.

Dwight Moore is preparing for a possibility of a water landing

10 PANDO | October 2016

The event was held at Berth 46 in Port of Los Angeles. The venue itself was a large, wide-open parking lot with some fun elevation changes. The “track” was situated right on the point, and overlooked the mouth of the LA Harbor. The temperature remained in the 70’s throughout the day, as the wind coming off the ocean kept us all very comfortable. What a treat, considering this happened to be one of the hottest days of the summer.

This was also the very first Autocross event held at this venue, and was meant to be a test case for possible future events. It was fun to throw a water hazard (the ocean) into the mix of things to avoid. So, what was the verdict?

While this Autocross venue certainly did not favor the “Turbo’s”, Chuck Bartolon, our track designer, did a wonderful job putting together a fun and challenging course. The course was very technical and gave drivers several options that kept everyone guessing and trying different routes throughout the day. Overall, there were a lot of happy event participants and everyone (that I spoke with) was looking forward to coming back to San Pedro again.

A special thank you needs to go out to Kurt Ressler, for finding and negotiating this venue. As well as an extra special thank you to the autocross staff that had to organize and put together the logistics for this new venue. It required a great deal of effort and they all deserve our Kudos.

As always, we would also like to thank our series sponsors, GMG, Momo, and Walter’s Porsche, for all of their support throughout the year.

2016 New Member Picnic

2016 New Members

Story by Sandy Schwartz, Photos by Gary Labb and Paul Novotne It was a beautiful day at Laguna Niguel Regional Park to welcome all our new members to the club. Monica Asbury greeted everyone at the Goodie Store, where all the new members in attendance were given a “goodie bag” courtesy of Hergesheimer Motorsports!

As we got the grills blazing, members and their families were served a delicious spread of burgers and hot dogs, complete with all the fixings. The BBQ was cooked to perfection by our grill masters for the day, Chris Brooksby and myself.

There were plenty of awesome Porsches blanketing the parking lot and it was great to see everyone admiring each other’s cars!

Our Vice President, C.L. Jarusek, made some announcements and welcomed David & Janice Witteried. David is our Zone 8 Representative. He gave a very informative speech about PCA and what it means to be a member of the largest single marque car club in the world.

He also took the opportunity to present PCA OCR with the awards we received at the Porsche Parade for having the best publication and being runner up for Region of the Year.

Peggy Huddleston talked about our Charity, Semper Fi, and announced the winner of our “split the pot” raffle which a lucky new member won!

Larry Moore, OCR’s Rallymeister, talked a bit about our upcoming schedule and some of the fun things to do in this club.

We then had a few words from Ed McRae, General Manager of Walters Porsche, who is our major club sponsor.

I would like to thank the volunteers who helped make this a great day.

Scott Fleener, Jerry O’Donnell, Malcolm McCondray, Rich Wilbur, Pete Lech, Gary Labb, CL Jarusek, Nancy Toast, Denny Asbury. Paul & Susan Novotne, Chris Brooksby, Mark & Laura Hergesheimer and a special thank you to my wife Catherine.

Story by Alan Burns, Photos by Joe Barnet and Paul Novotne

Aimee Spirlin appetizer hostess with our Semper Fi Fund recipient Brian T. Meyer GySgt. Ret.

Our tour this year started at Aimee Spirlin’s home in Corona del Mar. Wonderful spicy shrimp, prosciutto and melon, cheeses and olives and other great hors d’oeuvres by the sea. We met retired Gunnery Sgt. Brian Meyers who was our representative for the Semper Fi fund and we were reminded of our charitable purpose that day and of the sacrifices others have made for our country. More about Gunnery Sgt. Meyers later.

After snacks, it was up the coast to Sam Berro’s in Huntington Beach. We drooled over Sam’s collection of Italian and German cars (1970 Dino, 2000 Modena, newly re-engined 71 “ST”, and a ‘79 retro 911, just to to name a few in this interesting stable). He also had a collection of “surf sticks” that would make Corky Carroll envious.

Together, with Nancy and Dave Wright, he provided our greens for the evening.

Nancy was Dave’s navigator on the

Silver State Open they recently ran, with an average speed of 100 mph. Their daughter, Carley, who recently obtained her MS in Physics, was their racing advisor. At Sam’s place, we learned that while we have some great Porsche drivers in our club, golf apparently is not our game, as attendees consistently overshot Sam’s putting green, blaming it on the “ocean breezes.”

Onto Mike and Anna Andrews place, who graciously hosted a delicious BBQ dinner at their Hopalong Concierge Auto Storage service in Costa Mesa.

With 13,000 square feet of storage, they will store, wash and gas-up your vehicle and have it ready to go. Here we learned more about Brian’s service

in Iraq and Afghanistan. He started out in the USMC as a radar technician, but decided that this was too boring, so he volunteered to be a bomb disposal specialist. After 9 months in school, he was sent overseas to apply his craft.

He was injured in the fifth month of a six month tour, on his third tour overseas (2 Iraq, 1 Afganistan). He was disassembling a bomb in the middle of a road and was in the last steps when the bomb dropped back into the hole and detonated on March 14, 2011.

Brian lost a good portion of his leg and part of an arm and fingers on the other hand. He has a tremendous attitude, and this hero gave a lot of credit to the Semper Fi fund. He said they took care of his family immediately and provided continuing support to him.

The garage had great rubber flooring with Porsche insignia, tool chests and cabinets (all appropriately with the Porsche name/ logo) and outlines of all the major race tracks on the walls throughout. A high point of the tour was definitely the Porsche race car simulator, where some of our best drivers were humiliated.

The side/back yard was incredibly and ingeniously designed. This place was the dessert itself, but there were also sweets and beverages to finish the day.

A great day and we did some charitable good!

Porsche Corral at the Marconi Automotive Museum Open House Story by Gary Labb, Photos by Dan Castaneda In early April 2016 I was contacted

by Shannon Randol, Marketing Coordinator for the Marconi Automotive Museum. She extended an invitation to PCA-OCR to see if we’d be interested in participating in their annual Open House on Sunday, August 14, 2016.

I immediately shared the invitation with PCA-OCR President Greg Lush, who also thought this would be an excellent opportunity for club members to showcase their vehicles at a well-known automotive venue.

Due to a scheduled Autocross event taking place on the same day, Greg turned it over to me to coordinate our involvement with the Marconi Automotive Museum.

As we got closer to the actual Porsche Corral date, more coordination with Shannon took place, and both Shannon and I began publicizing our involvement in the Open House via social media resources.

I let Shannon know we might have a lighter turnout as there was the Autocross event on the same day. On 24 PANDO | October 2016

July 5th, I put out a request for RSVPs to participate in the Porsche Corral, via the club social media outlets. Within the first week, I already had thirty plus RSVPs. On the day I turned in our “final count” to the Marconi, August 7, 2016, I had 61 Porsches on the RSVP list and eight additional Porsches on the “waiting list”. I had another five people withdraw their RSVPs prior to the “final count”. That’s 74 Porsches, so much for my lighter turnout prediction. I was contacted by PCA-OCR member Dan Castaneda, who volunteered to assist me in helping to coordinate the parking on the 14th.

On August 9th I met with Shannon, and Todd Ottosen, the Operations Manager, at the Marconi Automotive Museum, to go over how we were going to put our 60 plus Porsches into parking spaces within the main parking lot and on the street in front of the Marconi. I have to say that Shannon and Todd were both excited to have the turnout that we were anticipating and made it clear that they would find spaces for all our RSVP Porsches, as well as the “waiting list” Porsches. In essence, we created two Porsche Corrals.

I put out a final message to the participants on the afternoon of Saturday, August 13th, finalizing our parking plan, and asking that all of our vehicles arrive at the Marconi between 8:45 – 9:00 A.M., as requested by Shannon and Todd, well ahead of the Marconi opening at 10:00 am.

On Sunday morning, August 14th, I arrived at 8:00 AM to finalize coordination with Todd.

I found that there was already an “early bird” Porsche parked in the parking lot. Dan soon arrived to assist me and we found that Todd and his staff had a coordinated plan to park all the Porsches in place.

Turned out Dan and I could relax and do what we always do… talk to other participants and take pictures. By 9:00 A.M. our parking lot spaces and our street parking spaces were filled.

Porsches continued to arrive and Todd and his staff found additional space to park the late comers.

At about 9:30 A.M. Todd let us know that the Museum was opening ahead of the scheduled 10:00 A.M. opening and we were welcome to enter the Museum.

The word spread quickly and people started flowing into the Museum.

All of our Porsches parked in the parking lot, and on the street in front of the Marconi, were fantastic “eye candy,” not only to true Porsche aficionados, but also to any car lover coming to the Museum Open House. The display in the parking lot and on the street showcased Porsches ranging from a 356 to a Carrera GT to a GT3RS to one of my favorites, a 991 Targa 4S. There were various Porsches from the last 50 years on display in the two Porsche Corrals.

I entered the Museum, walking past Mr. Dick Marconi’s motorcycle collection, and then into the main showroom containing a collection of high performance street cars, race cars, exotics (among which were Lamborghinis, and Ferraris), American muscle cars, some one-of-a-kind cars, and great automotive memorabilia.

Mr. Marconi was at the Museum Open House and available to answer questions about some of the rare vehicles within the Museum, like the 1954 Mercedes 300SL Gull Wing or the 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T.

Bo and Dick Marconi welcoming PCA-OCR guests

I had a great time at the Museum, having the opportunity to meet some of our new PCA-OCR members, meet some perspective members, and to have great conversations with some of our “veteran” members. But what I loved the most was the young, non-Porsche people, who loved our cars and had questions about Porsches. Hopefully, these are our members of the future.

I thank Mr. Dick Marconi and the Marconi Automotive Museum for their invitation to participate in their annual Open House and especially thank both Shannon Randol and Todd Ottosen for their hospitality and great coordination in putting together our Porsche Corral.

RICE’S

Ramblings Story and Photos by Lee Rice

News

The new 911 R is here and I am personally glad to see Porsche listening to 911 owners’ wishes. Only thing is, why so darn few? And why so darn expensive? It is supposed to be a more basic 911, a simpler 911 in the first place. It is supposedly stripped down for lightweight simplicity, handling, acceleration, and quick response. So the new 911 R only comes WITHOUT all the super high tech computers (to save you from yourself), and expensive luxuries and a push button to play with… .so why is it so out of reach, for so many?

This is a real shame, as this is the kind of 911 owners have wanted to own and drive for decades.

I love the 1968 911 R, the 911S, 911TS and 2.7 RS lightweight as well as the attitude of these kinds of Porsches.

However, like the super rare 997 GT-2 RS: Why so darn few and so much money?

It seems Porsche is more interested in the collector market and those who store these away and wait for… what? Time?

Age? Willingness to pay ridiculous ransom just to say you own one of these 911s? It just seems too far out of reach for mere mortals, that Porsche is only making these great cars for just the extremely very well heeled and exclusive. I am almost sorry Porsche made such a 911.

These 911s should not really be so special anyway. They are a basic, stripped down 911 devoid of any fancies and luxuries, like our drag racing sedans in the 1960s. Chevrolet offered 28 PANDO | October 2016

a “businessman’s coupe.” It had nothing in it -not even a cigarette lighter. But we got ours ordered with a 409 cubic inch V-8 engine with a 4 aluminum speed transmission and 4:56 rear axle. That was all we wanted and needed. We did the rest. Sure, options were available to order, but the serious racers wanted none of that. Most guys got some extra options and niceties for road driving and things to make their girlfriends more comfortable. We ordered what we wanted. And the parts department had almost anything else we wanted for performance. Porsche had the same kind of thing up to the 1980s….. well almost anything. So why not a stripped down version of the Boxster, Cayman and the 911 for those who live for sport driving, PCA events on and off track, car shows, and just enjoying the machinery?

I remember Vasek Polak telling me something similar to, “when you own a Porsche you are a part of the Porsche Company, promoting their brand and showing the world you drive these cars like any other car. And when you zoom away with it, that inspires someone to be part of that ‘family of Porsche Drivers’ too.” I never forgot it. In those days, you could go to Zuffenhausen Werke I and look over racing parts and buy them and sometimes you might even get a little deal on them. Porsche wanted their cars to be driven, played with, pushed to the limits on the track, and welcome feedback and ideas from owner-drivers.

And don’t think Porsche didn’t notice the American hot rod upgrades we put into our 911s.

I am glad to see the new 911 R. I really am,.. really, but why not a 75-80K “R” version for real people to promote “the

brand.” That’s my two cents worth ~WHAT’S yours? We’ll print your printable replies.

The Evolution of the 911 Oil System and My Experience Installing One

The 911 OIL SYSTEM: The air-cooled 911 engine was a “DRY SUMP” Design from its earliest design. What is a “Dry Sump” you may ask? Most car engines simply have an oil pump pressurizing oil to the oil filter, then to the crankshaft, rods, bearings, cam(s), and rockers, etc.

After this, the used, hot, dirty oil drips down into the oil pan to cool a bit and then be sucked and pumped back up to the engine to complete the circuit again.

A sheet metal formed ‘pan’ is used under the engine to collect all that used oil. Simple and neat.

However, in high performance engines the need for oil cooling is even greater.

Increasing the oil capacity with more oil means having a very large oil pan.

That was a solution, but it meant a vary large oil collector and that causes more oil (think of the weight) to be carried throughout the system. All of that oil sloshing around in the oil pan comes into contact with the crankshaft and drags on it, slowing the engine speed down. That oil, sloshing around in the pan, is ‘whipped’ into foam from the crankshaft. Then the foamed oil needs to be filtered and the air strained out of it before re-pumping back into the engine.

Yes, it gets complicated.

High performance airplanes have the same problems as high performance

Fig 1. 911 Duplex Oil Pump with smaller pressure pump on left, larger scavenge pump on right -with it’s snorkel pick up and screen

cars. Racing engines and airplanes have the additional needs of being run at very high power application continuously and some airplanes flying inverted, (upside down), sideways, diving suddenly, with strong, vomit inducing pull-and outs and negative Gs! What happens to the engine’s ‘life blood’ oil? Oil has other problems from sloshing oil upside down that would cause zero oil pressure even for a few seconds and therefore likely destroying the engine!

Airplanes evolved a unique Dry Sump Oil System. When I was in the Navy, it was called an “oil hopper” or oil tank, to store all of the “excess” oil, outside of the engine. The idea was to have only enough oil inside the engine to lubricate and cool it and then pump the used oil out of the engine to filter it, then direct the hot oil to a cooler, and when cool, direct it back to the tank and have it ready for the engine to use again.

The Porsche Mezger 911 engine was a mandated multi-use design. The engine was needed to win races and Rallies, but also needed to be driven around town in a civilized manner. Due to the design of Porsche’s “flat-opposed engine”, with two banks of three cylinders on each side opposing each other (“Boxer Design”), the engine sits very low in the 911. In fact, most of the engine is below an adults knees! Think on that one for a moment… the 911 engine sits down very low, and that is what has enabled a 911 to power its way around all the other

Fig 2. 1972 “Oil Door” –no tank.

cars in a turn for half a century. But, that low mounted engine made a case for a dry sump oil system even greater, as there was no place to put a large oil pan UNDER the 911 engine, even if they wanted to do so. And, believe me, they tried, but it didn’t work. So like a high performance aircraft, a dry sump oil system was designed for the 911.

A remotely located oil tank was designed which allowed collected hot oil pumped out of the engine to also be strained by a filter mounted on the tank itselfinside the engine compartment. Oil in race cars was temperature regulated by a thermostat, which diverted hot oil to a front mounted oil cooler and was connected to the engine and oil tank with long metal lines. Cool oil was then stored in the tank ready for reuse. The oil tank was connected to the engine by metal lines with flexible hoses to isolate the tank from engine vibration and heat. In order for the 911 to do this, it needed a second oil pump. The Mezger engine has a “Duplex Oil Pump”; two oil pumps on one shaft running at ½ crankshaft speed. Over the decades the “911s” oil system has gone through many upgrades and modifications and to this day the evergreen “911 ‘Metzger Engine’ ” is still a genuine DRY SUMP OIL SYSTEM. The first 911 had its’ oil tank in the REAR of the right rear/ wheel well. It had its’ oil filler inside the engine compartment with its’ oil dip stick inside the oil filler tube. The oil filter was mounted on the tank itself protruding inside the engine

Fig 3. 1972 Oil tank

compartment. Over the years, some significant oil tank changes were made.

The 1968 911R burst upon the rally and racing world with many new “got to have it” features, like “less of everything.”

The 911 R was stripped and lightened to paper thin panels and alloy components, however one new item that kept on coming back was the 911 R’s radically new type of oil tank.

The new 1968 dry sump oil tank was now removed from the 911’s right rear/ wheel well and moved to the FRONT of the right rear/ wheel well –inside of the right doorjamb and in front of the right rear wheel/tire.

Obviously, this modification helped put the weight of 12+quarts of oil, oil tank, oil hoses, steel and brass lines all forward in the chassis for better weight distribution. The 1968 911R also had its oil filter and cap stuck out on the outside of the right rear fender. As the 1968 911R was a very limited prototype 911 ( just 20 each!) to see just how much weight could be removed from the 911 it became a hyper light 911 (1,800 lbs.!) and had what weight was required by rules, to be placed where it would help handling, traction, and speed. This was a one year only modification. However, it was well remembered….. Road 911 oil tanks remained in the rear end.

1972 was the beginning of developing serious limited production 911 race cars.

Development ideas from the 1968 911 R with its forward oil tank was wanted October 2016 | PANDO 29

Fig 5. 1972 oil system Fig 7. 964 oil thermostat hoses and lines Fig 9. Inside view

Fig 6. 964 oil tank opened up

for the new 1972 911, but a more civilized forward oil tank without the oil cap stuck on the outside of the 911 like a big wart! This led to a unique and clever oil door to cover the oil cap and filler tube. Under the new ‘72 oil door, was housed the top of the oil tank’s filler tube, with oil dip stick inside, oil cap, and oil door pull open latch and hinge assembly. The 1972 911 kept the oil filter and temperature regulating thermostat located inside the engine compartment.

The 1972 911s -T/E/S new oil tank that fit inside the inner body “retainer” panel was 60mm ( 2 3/8” ) deep and that necessitated a modified version of the 1968 911R oil tank with a lowered top center section. The 1972 oil tank system was totally different from the rear mounted oil tank system on earlier 911s. The only thing that would remain was the oil cap itself.

By 1973 Some say that problems with fuel attendants putting gas in the oil tank 30 PANDO | October 2016

Fig 8. 993 oil tank, thermostat, and filter

Fig 10. 993 tank & “thermostat”

and owners unfamiliarity with it led to reverting the oil tank back in the rear wheel well in 1973.

The 1995 – 1998 (993) Carrera and 993 twin turbo had a revised 964 Oil System with the upgraded stainless steel oil tank, but now had a new aluminum oil thermostat incorporating a fullflow scavenge oil filter, thermostat, cast flanges for o-ring oil lines from the engine, to and from the oil cooler; all now all in one unit. The new ”THERMOSTAT” (993.207.258.02) is bolted onto the tank’s underside steel mounting bracket. It is a snug fit, but it fits in a 993. The oil filler is inside the engine compartment right along side the long-long dip stick connected to the tank by long tubes and hoses. It seems Porsche was shy to have an outside oil service door.

In 1974 the oil tank, oil filler, oil thermostat, oil lines and oil coolers were all enlarged, simplified, and upgraded for improved cooling but the oil tank remained in the rear wheel area until 1989.

The 1989 - 1994 (964) Carrera 4/2 & C-2 Turbo 3.3 & 3.6 had a new oil tank system with a much revised stainless steel tank mounted in the FRONT of the of the right rear wheel-again. However the oil filler, long-long dip stick and oil filter were still located in the engine compartment. A separate oil thermostat was located under the oil tank, connected by rubber hoses in the bottom rear wheel well to fit around the 964’s new rear suspension arm.

Stay tuned for Part II: My 993 Oil system in my much evolved 1968 911! This will appear in the November 2016 issue.

Letter from the Editor Continued From Page 7 and used both air-to-air and air-to-water cooling systems in their past racing efforts. Gear geeks have been thrilled to see a huge intercooler in the back of past Porsche’s. Just check our own Mr. Lee Rice’s engine compartment for a look at how it’s done.

Reddy Kilowatt

Reddy Kilowatt was a character used by the electricity company to promote the use of electrical energy in homes some years back. Now we learn that Porsche has founded a new subsidiary company, “Porsche Digital GmbH” to explore and exploit the electrical and digital future that awaits us all. Conjecture is that field offices will be located in Silicon Valley (where else?), as well as China and Berlin.

This to me seems a highly prescient move on Porsche’s part. In my previous Editor’s Notes, I discussed how I felt one of Tesla’s strengths in the electric automobile is it’s beginning as an “interface unit”, rather than as a car with some after thought to electronics and digital interconnectivity. So, Porsche will work to capture some of this on their own and no doubt incorporate it into future releases. Kind of interesting when you recall that for a time radios were optional equipment on automobiles, including Porsche. Let alone bluetooth, and integration with that “cloud” we are all operating under..digitally speaking.

And the “Project E” car from Porsche is rumored to be coming by the 2018 model year. The artist conceptions are of a beautiful shape that looks more sedan than outright sports car. So, once again Porsche has a background with harnessing electrical power in their cars, but typically as a “hybrid” or two energy source platform. I am excited to see this concept break ground and looking forward to see what the engineers will gin up for us to drive into the digital sunset.

Auf Wiedersehen

Last month I traveled to the Saturday morning breakfast club at Original Mike’s in Santa Ana. If you haven’t gone to this you need to do so. It is a “must” to really introduce yourself to the club and it really is almost a mini-concours as well. Think of 80 plus Porsches from every year and chassis model. A great way to spend a Saturday morning, in my opinion.

My own reason for this particular attendance was to announce to the Board that after many years at the helm of this great magazine, it is time for me to consider handing it over to a new editor. How many years I have done this? Interestingly, I am not sure, and I will have to manually check the archives I’ve kept to find out just how long it’s been. I think 10+? I’ve always felt a bit guilty about holding on to the editor’s job for so long. I don’t think it’s that healthy for individuals to hang onto jobs too long in volunteer organizations.

I think it is better that jobs and people

change, and grow, and incorporate new ideas and new looks along the way.

Enjoyed it I have done, I must say. It is a pleasure to have associated with such great contributors and the wonderful people involved in putting this little old club magazine together. Not to mention our sponsors. But things have to move on and it is time for me to move on as well.

I will not entirely disassociate myself from the “Pando” (which used to be the “Pandemonium”). I do plan to submit articles and stories in the future and I do plan to keep active with Porsches and drive literally into the sunset for as long as I can do so. Stay tuned once again boys and girls for the further adventures of yours truly, and one who humbly has been proud to serve you all.

Oh, and by the way, I also showed our winning trophy to the crowd at the breakfast in August. That is the trophy won by your Pando for being the best we can be within our class of the Porsche Club of America.
