Quick rundown. '68 911 Sporto with original engine. Car is being restored and was running (poorly) about a year ago. I had a personal project which put getting this cars running issue resolved. Personal project completed and new Hardi fuel pump installed to resolve the low/intermiittant fuel issue. New pump clicking away happily. Went to start and it the motor won't turn over. Thought it was a low battery so added a jump charger and still nothing. Went back and I can't turn it over by hand.
Removed the plugs. Nothing. Pulled the starter (PITA) and still nothing. Loosened valves, still locked up. I am hoping to find a solution without having to pull the motor. Any other ideas? Is it possible for a garaged car to have rust in the cylinders in a year? The axle flanges on the Sporto spin free (axles not reinstalled yet).
Last time it was running I don't remember hearing any noises that would have hinted at an eminent problem.
Any and all ideas are appreciated. I've posted this on Pelican Parts also.
Thanks.
