is a tial cast or "billet"? that looks very nicely machined from the solid with an aluminuim diaphram housing very nice George 944t
Thom, got your mail, forgot to answer. Sorry, no new 2.7L heads available at the moment, just for own use. WG looks like Tial, because it's a cheap Tial clone. When original cost about 550-600€ we rather buy a 45$ clone. I will check it out anyway, perhaps change some original Tial spare parts in to it.I suppose after some fine tuning it will do it's job. Have to buy cheap parts, because this is a poor student's project.
With Techart/OZ wheels you cannot use big 350mm disks with 6-piston Monoblocks. So we decided to go this route with 330mm floting disks. We are developing a bolt on kit for 1987/88 non M030 cars based on these parts.Similar parts are on their way, should get them within a week, so we can start manufacturing adapters for calipers and hats for disks rather soon [

Project has proceeded quite slowly. Only head has been disassembled for check up.Found out couple of stem seals have been popped off. Also few valves were repalced during the engine overhaul 7K miles ago. Still one valve guide needs to be replaced. I also noticed there was a starting water leakage with cylinder head gasket. So i also need to have head milled a bit to get a clean surface. Noticed the engine has been running extreamly rich, valves were more or less coverd by soot, like the plugs were as well. Have had also some other 944 releated things going on [] Changed belts, tie rod ends and few other things to this S2 cab. Luckily got help from Peter
Checked some electric gremlins from another 951
Helped my friend to changed control arm to 951S. Here's my friend who makes nice parts from billet aluminium

We didn't got much progress during October. Son's studies and my business took too much our valuable hobby-time. We have prepared mainly smaller parts for powder coating, anodized etc. We have also worked with engine we bought from Alasdair. We found out the head was not done that good, so we are going to replace few valve guides etc. Son have bought some items for 951, like standalone system. He ended up to finnish made Tatech system he bought from a friend in Sweden. Originally that particular Tatech was installe in Estonia in Markus' 951 with 16V turbo engine.Markus sold engine to Gustaf in Sweden (to his green 951). When Gustaf changed to Link standalone he sold Tatech to Fredrik. Now Fredrik is also going to install Link, so he sold Tatech to my son for very student friendly price. Tatech system is more easy for us since support is very near and also one of my friends have Tatech installed in his both 951's (street 3.0 & track 2.5) and he has promised to help us with installation & tune up. More info of Tatech can be found from here: http://www.tatech.fi/index.php
