CPA/PCA - Hershey Swap Meet

The 2010 Porsche only swap meet held in Hershey, PA (yes, that Hershey) was again a great show. A bazillion P-cars were on display, as well as a large swap meet section of independent and commercial vendors such as FabSpeed, Transloggt, Rennline and Tangerine Racing with his neat T4 horizontal cooling system.


NA twin plug bad ass..

A 3.6 turbo - the sign says 'Rare & Awesome'...


Rennline 964


A few rarities such as this 959. One of 200 ever built. (note the matching bucket)
The factory detail on the exhaust system cannot be captured in a photo... also check out that side view mirror.


964 powered Beck 904. Can you say power to weight ratio?


Lots of 914 goodness...

Mock Fitting - Crank/Rods

All cross drilled oil passages must be free of all debris - even during the mock up stage. You don't want to scratch or embed anything in the bearing shells.

 
All bearings are Kolbenschmidt purchased from Pelican...


They only go in one way...

Don't be alarmed if the rod bearing sits a bit proud, they are a crush fit...

Lubro Moly for the rod bolts & nuts.

Apply to the male threads.

Assembled & torqued to spec...
