Kerplop Report post Posted November 7, 2014 Subframe stripped down. Dropped it off at the powdercoating shop today. Going with a high gloss black. Going to look sexy as hell. Somehow, and I don't know how, it totally fit in the hatch of my 924. LOL. I'm replacing the carpet this winter anyway, so zero fucks given. #porscheeveryday??? lol. Pics soon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerplop Report post Posted November 8, 2014 Previous machine shop decided they didn't want to build my valve depression tool as it was too complex. The shop that was going to do the head work is confident they can do it without it. Both heads dropped off today. Time to get the actual machining done Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerplop Report post Posted November 11, 2014 shit, my pants got tight. hey, does anyone know what the cam removal tool looks like? Basically looks like an odd clamp with an allthread handle that bolts onto the head at an angle. I have a pic of it somewhere, don't have one, pm me your email and i'll email you a pic. I was told by a local machinist, rather than using that tool, you're likely far better off forking the valves open. But I'm leaving that to him.
