New Engine

We were offered a used engine for an acceptable price. It has 3000 miles after being rebuilt. The owner decided it did not have enough power and has built up a 911 engine to replace it.

It was represented to me thus:

NPR cylinders and pistons (1720cc ?)
A spare set of rings
050 distributor
Rebuilt Solex carburetors
10 over on the crank
Competition Engineering did the machine work
Balanced
Rebuilt generator
New clutch
4 new exhaust valves
New push rods

The fan shroud is in bad shape (and was painted red) and will have to be replaced.

Initial View

Here is the engine when we picked it up. The serial number is 743621 which is a 1965 engine. The case casting number is 92920 (12/65 according to the Maestro's formula) and the engine type is a 616/36.

	Rear View. Rebuilt generator. 050 distributor. '65-'66 engine mount.
	Left Side. Solexes have been rebuilt.
	Front View. New clutch.
	Right Side.

Set up on an Engine Stand

Engine mounted on the engine stand.

Remove the Sheet Metal

	Early carburetor heaters. Later engines had horns that direct warm air to the carbs.
	Sheet metal and carbs removed.
	There is a crack in the fan shroud.
	Serial number is 743621.
	All the top sheet metal removed.
	Oil cooler looks dry and secure.

Clean Up and Inspect

	Here is a view under the right hand valve cover. Looks fine.
	Removed the exhaust system and the heater boxes and cleaned up the threads for the exhaust system.
