Tried this conversion out. A lot cheaper than snap on. I got this far just hammering and boiling the grip.
I will try to press it in with a large wood clamp next. Ill keep yall updated.
Tekton 6 in 1 handle. Only $4
Tekton 6 in 1 Hard Handle on an Icon G2 ratchet.
This is as far as I got with just hammering. I will try to press it in further with a large clamp.
These tekton handles are only $4.00 a piece. I figured Id give it a shot. I really dislike the comfort grips on the G2. These feel better.
This post is a repost. My last one was glitching.
It almost worked lol. After 30 minutes of hammering, this is as far as it goes.
I ordered a very large 600lb wood clamp. Gonna try that to see if i can press it in further.
These are only $4 on tektons website. I figured id give it a shot.
Ordered an engine rebuild kit from 944 Online.
Three of the goetze rings are the same. One of them has slightly different packaging (rings on lower right of the first picture) and a different oil control ring. The expander and end gaps are also different. This ring reads GOE 6. All the other rings just have GOE on top.
Should i try to return these and get matching ones or send it?
Converted my 1/4 locking flex head G2 to 3/8 using the snap on kit. Finally have the ratchet Icon should’ve made from the get go!
This ratchet and my 14 inch 3/8 locking flex head are my favorites
Picked these BBS Mahle 5x130 wheels for my Porsche 944. New tires. Only $900 for all 4!
These rings have larger ring end gaps than the specified tolerance in the factory manual.
Factory manual calls for 0.25mm to 0.40mm
These have 0.40mm for the top ring and 0.65mm to 0.70mm for the second ring.
Just wanted to ask if people have used these successfully.
Thank you
Doing an engine rebuild. Cylinders look great. I am currently cleaning the pistons up. Motor had no compression issues when running.
I have Goetze Piston Rings 100mm sitting in a box. Do I have to recondition cylinders the cylinders with AN 30 prior to putting on new rings? Should I reuse the old rings if I dont want to recondition the cylinders? What do I risk if I put on new rings without reconditioning?
I called Comeau racing. He advised me to put on new rings without reconditioning. I trust that guy and I know he has tons of more experience than me.
However, I have gotten such conflicting advice from so many people who also have experience. People are saying the motor will lose compression if I dont reuse the old rings. Some people say new rings are totally fine. I dont know what to think anymore.
Please help.
Some of these are jpgs from camera. Others are post processed. Ill let you guys guess.

I love this watch. I sold most of my collection after I got this Murph. Wear it every single day. It has scratches and dings all over. Even the crystal has scratches. They add character and give this watch a story.
Using maroon scotch brite to clean old head gasket residue off the block. Im using lots of wd40 too.
Friend tells me that i messed up and that maroon was too abrasive.
Hello,
The black plastic insert on the inside of my 86 na 944 cracked when i was cleaning the oil pan. The plastic is super brittle and old.
Im looking online and seems like a replacement costs like $300. Wild.
What options do I have? Thank you.
I feel overwhelmed.
This semester isnt going to be easy. I have a full time job as well. But i got one year left and then im done. So time to lock in.
Hello! Just took off my head. Wondering if I have to recondition the cylinders or if I can just fit new rings to the pistons and send it.
There is no scoring on the cylinders. They seem to be in good shape. They do look a little shiny and some forums Ive read have mentioned a “glazed look” being an issue. Im not entirely sure.
Thank you!
Hello. I was scraping away at the cam tower seal on my 1986 NA Porsche 944. I am using plastic razor blades and being careful. As I was removing the seal, I noticed these deep scratches. I can def feel these with a fingernail. At first I thought that the plastic blade had somehow done this but as I removed more of the seal, I realized that the scratches had already been there.
How bad is this? Will I have to get this part of the head resurfaced as well? I already was planning to have it rebuilt.
Thank you
Hello. I was scraping away the cam tower seal off the head. After i removed a chunk of it, i noticed several scratches. I can def feel these with my fingernail.
I used plastic razor blades to scrape. How do i mitigate these scratches? I thought using plastic blades would be safe
Hey guys! I pulled my motor yesterday with the help of a good friend. Motor runs fine, I just wanted to replace every single seal and rebuild the motor to give it new life.
I got these BBS Mahle wheels for $900 with brand new tires on them! I have three sets of wheels now and Im thinking about selling the telephone dial wheels. If anyone wants them hmu. Im in the sac, CA area.
