I may make the tools
A few pictures
Bumpers off
Condensers and rads need replacement
Rear end and engine removal
Due to low compression on cylinder #5 (60psi) and the heaviest clutch pedal I've ever felt the engine was removed for further investigation
The clutch is 12 years and 110k young!
Ancillaries removed, starter makes a screeching noise at times.
Water pump was leaking and the bearing is totally shot and running about 1.5mm off centre. This is why Porsche use the plastic impeller and there's fortunately no damage to the crankcase
With the inlet manifold removed we found an issue with the rubber joints, I think this has been causing some 'problems'
With the cam cover and cams removed on bank 2 there's no sign of why we have low compression. Everything looks nice and clean
Going deeper and removing the cylinder head reveals our issue. A nicely burnt exhaust valve
There's a lot of parts in the cylinder heads of these 4 cam engines
Having removed all the valves it's apparent this engine needs a valve job, look how rotten the seating faces are... Make sure you're using super unleaded if the manual calls for it. Min 98 Ron for the C4S
Cylinder head exhaust ports during and after cleaning
Having inspected all the cylinder bores I was pleased to see no scoring or cracks whatsoever. The bottom end will be left intact
Ims bearing cover removed for bearing inspection. This is the single row type and has minimal play, outer seal intact and no noise or grinding when spun
Thats all for now
