I just ran across this very cool 911 engine assembly video and thought i would share the link with the fellow Dorki's. Enjoy!

Porn. There should be a warning. Lol. Thanks Chris!

Hey Leiden, I figured you would get a kick out of this. I've got to get one of those Hazet piston ring compressors... And a dyno room like that one... And, etc...... LOL! Bet you can't wait to back to that engine rebuild!

Interesting, they put the case half's together and install the rods later. Need to watch it finish later, got to back to work on the beetle.

Really excellent video. Thanks for sharing. I didn't realize the cylinders went on OVER the assembled pistons. Neat.

what were the barrel things he screwed into the heads and then put plastic caps on? I thought they were injectors, but then there were injectors on top of the stacks. Are there 2 sets of injectors?

[ducatithunder]

Those where the mfi injectors. Look later in the dyno tune the hoses are attached to the injectors by the butterflys. I'm surprised it wasn't a high butterfly injection set up like most RSRs or a slick slide valve set up. I do remember reading somthing about haven't dual injections to help with atomization and turbulence in the stack for better power.

I figured the second set of injector ports were for either additional fuel injection (as you stated) or possibly methane, or water??.
I've always assembled the case first as well and then the rods, it eliminates the need for the special tools that hold the upper rods straight and its just easier to get the crank in if your working solo. You also don't need a special fixture to hold the crank as your installing the rods. It won't work though if you have rod bolts with the nut side facing inside the case, just can't get to them. Like on a 914 or VW. That is a kick ass engine though!... I wonder why he shaved the edges of the intake trumpets? Looks like there was enough clearance to keep them intact...
