Re: Pics of my First 928 and Current Project Hey Leo,
I see your photo's, and all I see is potential for an aweseome car. Call me an optimist, but your car is quite cool. Just don't remove the body from the pan, as I did with my failed Karmann Ghia project. I will explain later..., Good luck.

That is exactly what I see, my wife begs to differ but she supports my vision. She will be bitchen when I am done. Let's see pics of your 928!  _________________ 1981 Porsche 928 Euro 4.5 Litre Auto |

Re: Pics of my First 928 and Current Project Nice Silver Metallic Paint. It looks like you tinted your rear 3 windows too.

Re: Pics of my First 928 and Current Project Here we go, my first Sunny California Weekend to pull the suspect Cylinder Head. Here are some pics of the progress and yes it took me ALL day to remove the Cylinder Head. Probably would have been easier to rent a Cherry Picker and pulled the engine out of the car then work on it.
  Exactly as I thought, some rust buildup from a leaky cylinder.   I can't believe how hard it was to remove the bolts on the valve covers. Hence, would have been easier with engine out of car.    Nice oil n coolant mix.    Suspect Cylinder!   _________________ 1981 Porsche 928 Euro 4.5 Litre Auto |

Re: Pics of my First 928 and Current Project That cylinder looks pretty nasty. Do you think you can free the piston? Are you going to pull the other head too?
