An excellent book that actually delivers on the promise to you through the process. Wayne Dempsey is behind the book and my only question is when rebuilding my 911 engine has been answered by e-mail during the day. Easy to large images show that almost all concepts necessary to perform this complex procedure. Author congratulates you how to get to the conclusion of each process is encouraging and appreciated. This book explains what the factory manual does not. Excellent job!

I have not gone through full details of reading the book, but will make you feel more confident in rebuilding the engine. It also will make you more tired on the run since it shows how much effort must be made to elaborate to avoid leakage of crude oil in the future. What I do not like about this book is that it makes you have to buy his other books (101 projects for Porsche), if you do not know how to remove the engine. Removing porsche engine requires more work than if a small block chevy, need to raise the car and remove the engine from underneath. I do not see why the author simply does not contain a number of additional pages in this book, as is required in order to rebuild the engine.

Wayne Dempsey has done it again: the perfect birthday present. This and "101 project" for Porsche are "requirements" for all the aging of the aircooled 911 and capable of holding the key. I found "101 project" after the first 96 to do mine. "Engines 911" includes that which is beyond the "101". Even if it can not / will not work on the engine itself, it helps to ask the right question. Because of the many factory upgrades, plus the fact that usually an official business wants to sell new cars and will not allow access to the Greasemonkey who the real work, and that the manager is primarily interested in management (working with the mining and monkey money from you), it is essential to the owner of 911 to get even older. Asking many questions is not what he likes manager, and most will get the answers stopgap. Dempsey color photos really explain in detail and the shots where it is. His text, clear, short sentences, forward "Napoleon's corporal" proofreading. He is not in a hurry – the text covers all this, patiently and without shortcuts. U.S. centered (but that is where 50% of all Porsches residence), the author provides specialized services and sources of hard-to-get parts. Get it, or ask him for Christmas. This is a nice juicy read.

One of the best 911 books out there. Surprisingly clear and easy to read. If you have not pulled down his 911 motor he always thought, "I'd be left to the professionals" to read this book. This show, with lots of great pictures, as it all step by step manner and gives confidence in the solution of your engine. I read this book then bought a 911 for my other five Friends and since then take full rebuilds. If you only buy two books, it should be one and ten'101 projects to 911. "
