Thanks you so much, it is wonderful your job and thanks for share the photos of a this legendary engine, the 917 air cooled 5.0 litres. Is it possible to buy a complete
917 engine? Where?

This incredibable to see some guys be able to build a 917 engine, i was completly impressed to watch these pictures. I'am a great fan of the Porsche 917, of the Le Mans film because we can heard this car "living". I have a great respect for your job, this is a mecanic very complex and powerfull. Thanks a lot to show us these pictures.
I have 33 years old, the 917 winned le Mans 2 yaers before i born , but i consider her as the best race car of the years.PLEASE CONTINUE.......

from someone who's not likely to ever get near a 917 in the metal, thanks for letting me up this close.
