Thanks Joe, This was really interesting. When the previous owner restored the engine in 2002, the piston rings was replaced. The engine is fitted with some strange pistons, type Arias "318SS". As far as I know, this is a US manufacturer of pistons - but I don't think they do Porsche these days. I have some photos taken during the restoration - by the previous owner. The cylinders did not look rusty at all, so I guess they aren't made of forged iron. If you mean the head cover nuts, it is 6 of them. But if it is the below cover, I am unable to check it now, cause the car is now stored away for the winter. Anyway, do you think my engine is well suited for a cylider upgrade? The idea is to replace the original cylinders with 2,2S spec Nickasil cylinders or similar - if possible. Or will the crankshaft be too weak - or need for balancing? I am aware that the cylinder heads must be machined out, and the chain/housing maybe needs to be suited - but my hope is to do this upgrade without splitting the engine block. I hope this will give less blue smoke, and a tighter and more powerful engine. Today, it is quick enough - but smoky...

Thanks Loren! But I'm not quite sure how to read it. Well, the chassis number starts with "118", but i thought "3" said something about engine type? 5104 is the serial number, I guess. Or does it mean (by "35") that it originally was a 911L with sportomatic (row 21 from top)? Engine: 3280692 - Possible to see if this matching the chassis?

Hi, My car is from 1968, it is imported from CA USA. To me it seems to be a 911T, cause there were no front SWB. But I have read that the T model was not sold in USA this particular year. The engine is modified with 83,45 bore, and fitted with S-camshafts. Some papers from previous owners said the type was "Porsche 911 S66", but this gives no meaning to me. Can anyone decrypt the following numbers? Chassis: 11835104 Engine: 3280692 Thanks! WBR Hans/Norway
