    No pain here, I love a good deep dive. It gets my mind off work while I'm not at work. 2019 More recent

    Driver Side Fender

    I remember a PCA instructor (I believe from Wisconsin) having a white and red car like that one. Was that you?

    Driver Side Fender

    That was Road America 2006. It was my former 911, a 1993 RS America.

    Driver Side Fender

    I'm looking for a good left front fender in the Chicago area. The one I have has too much Bondo. GN Black would be a plus.

    I'm rebuilding my engine......

    This is everything the shop is doing. I'll have a balancer ordered later today. On the other end of the project, I have the front and rear ends removed to clean up all the parts that are in in good shape, replace the ones that aren't, lights, fillers, bezels, bumpers, header panel....etc...

    There are no balancers listed on their website. I'll give them a call in a couple hours.

    This is the crank I bought. I don't see anything in the description about internal or external balance. https://www.gn1performance.com/4340-steel-3-400-stock-stroke-crankshaft/

    Porsche crank for comparison, for the gear heads.

    I'm rebuilding my engine......

    In order to use the stock manifolds I'll need a crossover pipe, one never came with the car. That should be easy enough. The original lifters are all out of order and border line in the trash can. I have made no decision on cam yet. As cash allows, I'll get to that. What would the benefit be...

    I was told they look like Chinese ATR knockoffs, that's all I've got. Something might need to be fab'd up or purchased and modified to work.

    I'm rebuilding my engine......

    The engine parts have been dropped at the shop. At first glance they dont think the bores can't remain the way they are. Likely going .020 over. So new pistons will be part of the rebuild. Short block will consist of a new GN1 Performance crank, stock rods with ARP bolts, new forged...

    I'm rebuilding my engine......

    Okay, so I've ordered standard stroke crank from GN1. I should have that next week. I also sourced a stock rod and piston from a member here. I'll have that next week also. Next decision is camshaft. I'm okay with keeping the one I have but I've read here that it is not recommended to use new...

    Would .010 require new pistons also? I suppose that what, if anything gets taken out of the bores is up to them. Point is, if I need new pistons, I might as well stroke. Ideally, I'll stick with the stock pistons and standard stroke. I recently built a relatively big dollar motor, 3.6 Porsche...
