🍋Lemon #349 ...993 crankhaft in top fit conditions, pre varioram 993 in and outlet valves the same: what a lucky engine 🍀 The bushings, supports, gaskets, sealing rings, chains, cam sprockets, intermediate shaft gears, are new; the valve guides on the exhaust side have been replaced because there was play, those on the inlet side were and are perfect, as much as the intermediate shaft, camshaft; the seals on the valve heads have also been changed, while the valve springs and hats are its originals. The last 2 missing parts are: verifying the roughness of the cylinder walls and get the crankshaft balanced with its rods and pistons. But we are almost there, it is not long before the engine will finally be reassembled. #flyingcarpet #beautifulmess #sculpture #modernart #aquatic #911 #porsche #993 #gardenart #classiccarrestoration #porsche993 #rebirth #lemonyellow #timelessmachine #porscheclub #thereisnosubstitute #timelessmachine #lemonpower #rooms #workingplace #bricolage #spareparts - @limoncellaprojekt on Instagram

❗️ Guess for some free JE swag ❗️ This weeks #WeirdPistonWednesday is less weird and more just straight-up cool. This piston is a piece of factory racing history from the late 60s / early 70s. From the rudimentary milling to balance the piston to the gnurled piston skirts that kept clearances tight as the part saw more wear, this 4.360 bore piston is a true testament to the racing technology of its time. The first person that correctly guesses the specific Factory engine and racing discipline this piston came from gets a free #JEpistons T-shirt! P.S. We will be reverse-engineering this piston and creating a brand-new, forged set of JE pistons that will help resurrect this engine. #Pistons #RacingHistory #GuesstoWin - @jepistons on Instagram
