Porsche 928 Resto: Episode 15 - Sumpting to torque about!

A quick follow on from the last video. Sealing up the engine with the sump and its million bolts - the ones that never fully tighten! plus a final assembly of the front of the engine and timing; complete with some crank seal panic.

Good milestone to have engine closed up and not a dirt trap anymore
You'll be dreaming doing up sump bolts as a living :)

[@DavidJohnson-nh9io]

Agreed!

[@pstreetgarage7304]

You are making good progress, Im amazed at how wide this engine is

[@neildonaldsonlotusexcelresto]

Getting there Dave, slowly but surely...

[@gonzotiki1]

Exciting!

Like the use of the torque wrench to ‘sense’ if there are any tight spots turning the engine over!!!❤

[@DavidJohnson-nh9io]

Not sure how sensitive it is, but certainly a confidence booster.

I just looked it up on Rennlist. The old style seal Sat flush. If the newer seal is thinner it gets a slight recess. It says having it on straight is more important than depth

[@DavidJohnson-nh9io]

Thanks! that was my conclusion, hopefully its not sitting right on the old wear marks.

Why didn’t you clean the motor.?
