 Rating:  - Its a good book, full of colored pictures and instructions but...I haven't gone through full detail reading the book, but it'll make you feel more confident in rebuilding the engine. It'll also make you more weary about starting because it shows how much meticulous effort you must put in order to avoid future oil leaks. What I don't like about this book is that it makes you need to buy his other book (101 projects for your porsche) if you do not already know how to remove the engine. Removing a porsche engine requires more work than something like ... Read More Rating:  - 911 Engines Modification and UpdatesWayne Dempsey has done it again: the ideal birthday present. This and "101 Projects" for your Porsche are "must haves" for anyone interested in his aging aircooled 911 and capable of holding a wrench. I discovered "101 Projects" after having done the first 96 on my own. "911 Engines" covers what is beyond "101".

If you've never torn down your 911 motor because you always thought, "I'd should leave it to the professionals" read this book. It will show you, with lots of great pics, how to do everything in a step by step way and give you the confidence to tackle your motor. I read this book then bought five more for my other 911 buddies and have since tackled complete rebuilds. If you only buy two book, it should be this one and '101 Projects ... Read More Rating: - Pictures galore!This is a great book for the enthusiast or for those with an interest in Porsches. I rebuilt a 911 engine without this resource; it would have been so much easier and faster with this book as a reference. I bought this as a gift for someone that acquired a 78 911SC -- he thinks the pictures are exceptional. Rating: - AwesomeI bought a 1974 911S Targa last year with a blown engine. Deciding to tackle the re-build myself, along with help from my Dad and advice from Porsche mechanics we know, I purchased this book. All I have to say is Awesome! Wayne Dempsey has really put together a comprehensive way of showing you how to do your re-build, as well as giving you some real simple yet totally worth while modifications. After studing this book for about a month, I even found were the last builder of this engine made mistakes and ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
