With a complete refresh using parts from eBay Motors, the team dives into the intricate process of resealing and enhancing the engine beyond its stock capabilities. After meticulously attending to every detail and conducting thorough tests, including smoke testing for leaks, the stage is set for the engine's triumphant return to the Porsche.
The team faces the challenge of installing the pressure plate, resorting to a unique circlip balancing technique, showcasing their expertise and determination in the face of obstacles.
