On April 27th, Harold
Schmidt and Nelson Renz
put on a 911 Tech Session. The impetus was the
ongoing rebuilds of both Nelson's and Harold's 911 race
car motors due to failures during last year's racing season.
While the failures were certainly unfortunate, a positive
consequence was the opportunity for members to get a first-hand
explanation of how the parts of a flat-6 fit together, and
to learn about some of
the intricacies of generating maximum horsepower from this
finely engineered masterpiece that defined Porsche for so
many years. And although the focus of the session
was clearly the inside of a 911 engine, there was plenty
of additional information to be gleaned about making the
P-car stick, turn in, and brake. |
