I bought this 356 engine as a spare, to get my 912 running for last summer, as my own crank and fly wheel were stolen.

I planned to tear it a part and use the crank&flywheel in my matching numbers block. All went well and parts look OK, exept that I managed to crack a piece on from one piston and that in fact the crank wasn't counterweighted as I had supposed. Maybe not all 356 cranks were counterweighed? I have one Porsche industrial engine crank that isn't. Today I noticed also that they sell cranks without CWs for 356's on http://www.ahnendorp.com . Here are both of my cranks.

I also took apart my two pairs of Solex 40 PII-4 carburators for a rebuild.


There has been a fire in one of the carbs. Caused by bad sync I guess, as one diffusor has melted. Does anyone have a spare? Email me please, thank you.
