Well something wrong with the geometry here.




After a lot of head scratching (and I mean a lot) it suddenly dawned on me, dah, I had the hubs transposed.






One of the many reasons I love my job (99%of our work is Porsche) but we do get other rare stuff through like a 1955 Ferrari monza 750 engine (the car was destroyed)

It's taken 4 years to get the parts together and repair the gearbox (which was destroyed, was actually the cause of the crash)Well now we have all the parts and are rebuilding it in my workplace I'm a no one my title is Caretaker \ workshop assistant (I'm never made to feel like that)like many of us I've stripped and rebuilt many engines but have no qualifications and most of my experience is in motorcycles (I've customised many in my life)

I've never worked anywhere where please and thank you are so often heard, I was given these parts to clean from the 750 engine, I feel so privileged to be working on such iconic engines and cars.

You will notice (which surprises me) it uses a multiple wet plate clutch(I thought they only used them in motorcycle)

Hi all well I've been unable to login for a while so this has progressed quite a bit in the meantime.




Glad to be back.
