Editor’s Notes 

Story by Garey Cooper 

Garey, Maxine and Daughter-in-law 

A Tower in the Sky 

High atop the gleaming tower, where 

wind and sun search and scour. Steel 

and glass the heights surpass. Ceaseless 

and enquiring, our minds empowering 

the search for mirth and automotive lark; 

again upon a new month start. 

And to think all this occurs while far 

below the ebb and flow of normal folk, in 

normal poke, race along to normal fates, 

away from us and our exotic dates. 

An American in America 

I am writing this column while still 

on something of a “high”, at least 

metaphorically speaking. Mrs. Cooper 

and I recently accompanied my beautiful 

daughter-in-law to her naturalization 

ceremony in Los Angeles. Linda comes 

from another country and has come to 

be American in heart and by choice. It is 

sad to say, but having been born here and 

being American by many generations, so 

far as I can tell, the full and meaningful 

impact of this status only comes to me 

by seeing some others who choose to be 

American. The cynic might say that they 

do it for money and jobs as much as by 

consideration of our traditions and values. 

However if you go to the ceremony and 

see the tears and joy that are so evident, 

you might, perhaps, like me become a 

little less cynical about it all. For the 

three of us, at least in our little nucleus of 

family, there were tears aplenty and while 

trying to be “manly” attempting to choke 

my tears back; they still flowed. We left 

feeling absolutely renewed and I thought 

of what it means to be an American, a 

citizen of the United States and made 

a pledge to try to not take it for granted 

after witnessing so many who came from 

someplace else and worked to have a 

little bit of the dream. 

Speaking of cynicism some years 

ago I visited Fredericksburg and walked 

the hillside up to the hill called “Marye 

Heights”. At that time and I imagine 

still today, it is quite easy to see the 

Rappahannock river and the slope 

leading up to the heights. The slope 

along which the Union soldiers advanced 

into an impenetrable wall of musket and 

cannon fire. So impenetrable that many

The Art of Detailing: 

Not a Madison Avenue Proposition - Part II 

Story by Moe Mystry 

In our previous article, we discussed 

what happens when the consumer price 

hunts for a specialized service resulting 

in a detailer falling into that trap. We also 

talked about what the majority of the 

price of a detail is comprised of, detailer 

knowledge and workmanship. 

In this article, we’ll discuss what 

you end up paying for at different price 

points and how they impact five key 

areas of distinguish: product quality, 

detailer experience, level of attention, 

liability insurance and detailer’s future 

existence. 

Different price points are a result 

of the detailer’s market, experience and 

level of service. My assumption is an 

average Porsche in Southern California; 

997 Carrera S, black, detailed 6-8 months 

ago and has been washed by a local wash 

guy that comes to the office. There are 

microswirls and light scratches around 

the car. The interior has never been 

treated. 

We’ll be gauging the detail in areas 

such as: 

• Product Quality: The quality of 

the products used will dictate the level 

of protection, the overall “look” of the 

detail and durability. Usually, the higher 

the quality of ingredients, the longer 

your car will look great; this means more 

value. 

• Detailer Experience: Since our 

industry isn’t regulated, you don’t really 

know how experienced the detailer 

REALLY is until he’s working on your 

car. The more skill and expertise a 

detailer has, the greater the cost of the 

detail. This translates to more value 

for you. If your detailer has experience 

with your type of car, the quicker he can 

remedy the situation that needs attention. 

In other words, the job is done right the 

first time. 

• Level of Attention (Time): The 

longer a detailer can spend time on your 

car, the greater the attention. When the 

detailer isn’t rushed from job to job, he 

can truly focus on the car at hand. The 

average proper detail should not be less 

than four hours without paint correction, 

it’s usually around five to six hours, 

depending on the level of service and 

number of detailers working. If paint 

correction is involved, expect 12-30 

man-hours. 

• Liability: This is insurance 

to cover both the vehicle and others. If 

there are any accidents or unforeseen 

incidents and if the work is being done on 

your premises, you are liable. An insured 

detailer has a liability policy reducing or 

eliminating the client’s liability. A good 

policy will be from a reputable company 

and should cover damages to the vehicle 

and persons in the area. A good Insurance 

policy for detailers is very expensive. 

We are categorized in the same class as 

repair shops and mechanics. There is no 

classification for auto detailing because 

it’s an industry with little or no regulation. 

Most detailers don’t even have a business 

checking account or business license. 

• Detailer’s Future Existence: 

Depending on the geographic region, a 

large portion of the price you pay for a 

detail needs to be invested back into the 

company. A smart detailer understands 

this and values the future of the company. 

Investments in technology, labor and 

marketing are a few areas where the 

dollars go to. This way, the detailer you 

used a year ago will be around this year 

and many years to come. 

Below are some examples of what 

the price point gets you: 

$125 price point: 

• Product Quality: Products are usually 

a notch above the consumer lines 

found in auto parts store. Mainly, 

cheaper chemicals that are less 

effective. In the long run, you can 

expect this level of product to last a 

few weeks. 

• Detailer Experience: Usually just 

starting out and needing to have a 

low price to get business. If already 

established, in desperate need of 

business. 

• Level of Attention: Little to none. 

Time is of the essence here. For 

someone to be profitable at this price 

point, volume is the key. If mobile, by 

the time one factors in gas, product 

cost, taxes, advertising, etc., there is 

only a modest profit to survive. If a 

brick-and-mortar, barely enough to 

cover fixed costs and overhead. 

• Liability: Usually none. Insurance is 

very expensive for detailers. 

• Future Existence: When all the costs 

and wages are factored in, little to 

no money can be allocated to the 

business. Hence, why there are so 

many fly-by-night detailers. 


• Product Quality: Products are 

somewhat improved. We now get 

into the ProSumer line of products. 

These products perform leaps and

How to Clean H5 Lights 

Story and photos by Cooper Boggs and Kevin Torre 

1987-1989 911 H5 Headlight Cleaning 

Do you own an ’87-’89 911 Carrera/930 

Turbo? Have you noticed that your 

headlights look hazy or milky? Porsche 

used the Bosch H5 headlight assembly 

on these 911 series cars. The H5 is the 

US Spec. DOT approved version of the 

popular European H4 headlight assembly. 

The H5 lights are a sealed lamp, however, 

over years of use, moisture can get inside 

and create a residue on the inner lens of 

the light. Cooper Boggs and Kevin Torre 

teamed up to clean the lights on Kevin’s 

recently acquired 1987 911 Targa. 

screws. These should NOT be removed 

or adjusted during the cleaning! The 

headlight ring screw is typically a captive 

screw. Don’t worry if you loosen it for it 

won’t come completely out of the ring. 

To remove the ring from the car 

takes a little finesse. Years of grime and 

wax residue can make the ring really 

stick to the gasket at the fender. Once the 

screw is loose, push down on the top of 

the trim ring and using your fingers try to 

carefully pry each side of the ring away 

from the fender. The ring is hooked at 

the top of the fender onto a small lip. Tip 

the ring out at the bottom and then lift it 

straight up at the top. 

with it. They are retained with a small 

nylon washer. If you drop one into the 

bucket, don’t panic, they often fall out 

the bottom drain hole onto the ground 

under the front of the car. 

Step one is to gather all of the items 

you will need. These include a Philips 

screwdriver, a magnetic pick up tool, a 

long flat blade screwdriver, mechanics 

fingers or needle nose pliers, glass cleaner, 

paper towels, a soft bristled brush or tooth 

brush, anti-seize and a couple of q-tips. 

Next we will remove the headlight 

trim ring from the car. This is accomplished 

by removing the single Philips screw at 

the bottom of the ring. Please note, the 

two rubber caps on the top and side of the 

ring allow access to the headlight aiming 

Once the trim ring is removed you 

will see the headlight unit itself. The glass 

lens of the H5 is bonded to the reflector 

housing. Six more screws should now 

be visible. It is important to identify the 

two adjustment screws and NOT move 

them. You can do this by looking at the 

position of the rubber grommets in the 

trim ring and their relationship to the 

screws underneath. 

The other four screws are more 

deeply recessed and evenly spaced at 

the upper and lower right and left of the 

headlight unit. These four screws hold 

the headlight carrier assembly to the 

fender bucket. To remove these use your 

Philips screwdriver. The screws should 

be captive to the carrier. It is handy to 

have a magnetic pick up tool near by in 

case you realize the screws are loose. 

Each screw has a flat and lock washer 

Once the headlight unit is loose, you 

will need to unplug the wiring harness 

from the bulb. This is accomplished by 

squeezing on the connector and wiggling 

it loose.

Losing Control and the Happiness That Follows 

Story by John Ortiz 

Having owned 3 Boxsters, I figured I 

knew how to corner in a Porsche. That 

thought, along with a few expletives, 

flew right out the window as I entered 

a freeway ramp with the tail end of my 

911SC whipped out to where my front 

end should have been. Fortunately, I just 

had to hang a quick u-turn before I was 

on my way again. Good thing the smell 

of sweat and fear doesn’t linger long with 

the windows down. 

Like many Porsche owners, my 

attraction to German cars started early 

on. My older brothers (Dave & Rick) 

both drove Volkswagens when I was a kid 

so it was natural for me to do the same. 

I had a powder blue Squareback that 

Rick and I lowered, painted the wheels 

and replaced the fuel injection with dual 

Solexes. However, it was Rick’s 1/4 mile 

drags in his VW (with a built 1835) that 

got me hooked on speed. 

My parent’s house always had a VW parked 

out front 

Flash forward to an early morning 

in March of 2011. I’m pulling into Cars 

& Coffee to park my Porsche along side 

likewise cars. It’s sprinkling and the 

turnout is light. I duck for shelter under 

a tree and strike up a conversation with a 

complete stranger who turns out to be a 

fellow PCA member and SC owner. What 

followed was a spirited conversation 

with Dave Waddell about autocrossing 

at El Toro. I had heard of the events but 

was intimidated by the idea of getting 

out there. Dave’s enthusiasm and “just 

come have fun” attitude sold me on the 

idea (and I suppose this is a good time to 

admit that this is the same morning I had 

spun-out entering the freeway). 

Being the cautious planner that I am, 

I read a few articles on how to autocross 

and watched my share of online videos 

featuring the sport. I then prepared my 

car by having the driver’s seat lowered. 

This wasn’t absolutely necessary, but I 

wanted to be comfortable driving while 

wearing a helmet. I also swapped the 

steering wheel with a MOMO and set 

aside a few bucks to buy a helmet. I 

knew loaners would be available but 

my inner planner told me, “Buy one in 

case they don’t have a size to fit your fat 

head”. All the while my wife, Christina,

Auto-X Corner: 

2012 Auto-X Season Kicks Off 

with a Double Header! 

Story by Steve Eguina - Auto-X Team Emeritus 

Photos by Jon Perino • Studio Z Ad/Design 

RacingLifestyle is the event sponsor along with Fairview 

Mortgage Capital 

AHH YES!... Finally it is Saturday 

February 18, 2012. The long cold 

Southern California winter, that kept us in 

our garages from mid December to mid 

February, is finally over and we can look 

forward to the start of the Orange Coast 

Region driving events. The start of each 

new season offers OCR members the 

opportunity to participate in the annual 

OCR Drivers Clinic at El Toro Fields. 

This is a great event for young and old 

Porsche owners alike… and young and 

old porsches! The event is well planned 

and is the result of a lot of hard work 

by OCR’s Chief Driving instructors 

Richard & Dennis Neff and is supported 

by their highly trained staff and cadre 

of instructors. The event planning and 

instructor training day was held earlier 

in the year with excellent attendance for 

new and returning OCR instructors. 

The Drivers Clinic is a great starting 

point for anyone to learn better car control 

and to have fun with their Porsche. 

Students were provided an instructor 

for the day. During the morning session 

drivers are challenged by various car 

control exercises and a wet skid pad, 

which allows them to learn the limits of 

their cars traction. This was followed by 

the “traditional” pizza lunch, (just like 

at the Ferrari club meetings) seems like 

lunch should have been bratwurst and 

Chief Driving instructor Dennis Neff 

sauerkraut. After lunch, 

a mini-Auto-X course 

was set up for students 

to practice their newly 

learned skills. This is more 

fun than you can imagine 

and everyone is given the opportunity to 

practice these driving skills as they work 

the course. 

A great time was had by all and 

many of the students returned the next 

day to participate 

in the first event of 

the 2012 Walter’s 

Porsche Auto-X 

C h a m p i o n s h i p 

Series. You are 

invited to come out 

to any event play 

with your Porsche. 

We will provide you 

with a loaner helmet 

and a friendly 

instructor. See 

the 2012 schedule 

elsewhere in this 

issue. Please don’t wait till next year to 

come have fun with your Porsche! 

Kicking off the Walter’s Porsche Auto- 

X Championship Series. 

SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY! We are 

here LIVE at El Toro Fields to bring you 

the first 2012 Walter Porsche OCR Auto- 

X Championship Event! With Porsche 

engines warming up in the background, 

(Vroom – Vroom) the air was electric as 

the announcers voice echoed across the 

massive El Toro runways. 

We are fortunate to have Walter’s 

Porsche again this year as our Series 

Sponsor, GMG-Global Motorsport 

Group as our Series Support Sponsor 

and for this event Fairview Mortgage 

Capital and RacingLifestyle.com as 

our event sponsors. When you need any 

of our sponsors services, please give 

them a call. They are all PCA members 

and will look out for your well-being and 

provide excellent service.

the newer drivers (who have requested

Walter’s Porsche Hosts 2012 AutoCross Party 

Story by Bob Scheussler & Photos by Lisa Goetsch 

The 2011 Walter’s Porsche Autocross 

Series Awards Party was hosted for the 

fourth consecutive year by Walter’s 

Porsche in Riverside, on February 25. 

Our Awards party marked the first event 

in Walter’s newly remodeled Porsche 

showroom and included Walter’s official 

unveiling of the new Porsche 991. Over 

75 drivers, family members and friends 

attended this annual event to relive the 

2011 Autocross season and celebrate 

victories with the award winners. After 

enjoying the beautiful selection of food 

and beverages provided by Walter’s, 

the group was welcomed by Walter’s 

Porsche Audi General Manager, Ed 

McRae. Ed remarked how pleased 

Walter’s is with relationship the Orange 

Coast Region has enjoyed with Walter’s

Book Review: 

PORSCHE and ME 

Article by Bruce Herrington 

Porsche and Me – Hans Mezger, an 

Autobiography with Peter Morgan, 

published by PMM Books,, Malborough, 

Great Britain. 

The long awaited ‘autobiography’ of 

Hans Mezger is now available. Porsche 

and Me is virtually a picture book with 

many illustrations of cars, components, 

engineering drawings (which identify 

the pun in the book’s title), and award 

certificates. It presents a richly personal 

account of the work life of a very 

dedicated member of the Porsche family. 

It is not truly the autobiography of Hans 

Mezger, the person, but rather that of 

Hans Mezger, Design Engineer. It may 

not fulfill all the expectations of those 

who have awaited this book’s arrival 

– it is not a how-to of engine design, it 

does not tabulate the day to day life of a 

Porsche Employee, it does not chronicle 

the growth of Porsche from struggling 

specialty manufacturer to a major 

automotive powerhouse. But it 

does touch on all of these issues, 

as well as talk about the process 

of designing racing engines and 

the cars into which they were 

installed. 

So why should a Porschephille 

care about a biography of Hans 

Mezger? His may not be a household 

name, but after 37 years with 

Porsche, his engineering designs 

are part of every Porschephille’s 

house garage. Perhaps Ferdinand 

K Piëch (grandson of Ferdinand 

Porsche and currently the Chairman of 

the supervisory board of Volkswagen 

Group that now owns Porsche) said it 

best: “Without Hans Mezger, Porsche 

wouldn’t be renowned worldwide as the 

ultimate in sports cars.” Hans Mezger is 

widely acknowledged as the ‘father’ of 

the 911 engine. This book documents 

some of his less well know achievements: 

the design of the 917 engine, the TAG 

Formula 1 V-6 and many, many detail 

refinements of a variety of products built 

for Porsche cars and contract customers. 

In 1956, as a fresh engineering 

graduate, Mezger was hired to work in

Rice’s Ramblings: 

Center Loc To 5 Stud - M96-97 Chip Detector 

Hot Air Socket Now Metal 

Story by Lee Rice 

April is upon us “Porsche pushers” 

once again and it is the 100th anniversary 

of the loss of RMS Titanic. Aren’t we glad 

to live in our modern world of computer 

technology where passenger ships don’t 

sink anymore? No one could possibly 

foresee the failure of 1912 technology 

on that fateful night so long ago, but that 

“unsinkable” attitude changed the way 

we think today. 

I became aware of this as I grew up 

in the aviation world because my father 

was a maintenance officer for a P-51 

fighter facility in England during WWII 

and also flew combat missions in B-17s 

and got 5.5 aerial kills credited. My dad 

taught my brother and me to never forget 

that it is “the thing you don’t see that 

is usually going to get you.” Whether 

that was a Me 109 or an unforeseen 

malfunction of a P-51s Rolls-Royce 

Merlin engine was what kept him awake 

at night. Today reliance on computer 

run Porsches, and everything else, is not 

“unsinkable” either. 

Computers: I love ‘em! I and many 

‘gray hair’ Porsche owners can tell you, 

we didn’t have computers “back in 

the day” and had to know mechanical 

engineering to know how to maintain 

a 356 Super. Those wonderful running 

machines were all mechanical and also 

had personalities. The only way you 

knew that a 356 Super or 2.0L 911S 

was running right was to listen to them 

run and know by the sounds and how 

the engine responded. Then you knew 

everything was running right. Those 

wonderful 356 Solex carburetors got out 

of “tune” every year or two, and finding 

a reliable mechanic was not enough. You

Feature Losing Control: 

(Continued from Page 9) 

Lined up at Irvine’s Cars and Coffee 

was witness to a transformation and 

probably wondering what had gotten into 

her husband. 

Around that same time, I attended 

Fontana’s Festival of Speed with a few 

friends. I parked in the display area and 

enjoyed being close to the action. My 

friends and I test drove three different, 

mid-engine Porsches in the miniautocross 

area and took track tours with 

professional Porsche drivers. I even drove 

the track in my car during the lunchtime 

tour… a memory I can best equate to a 

first kiss. 

Lunchtime track tour at Fontana 

Back in the display area, I met a 

gentleman that took a liking to my car. 

After chatting a bit I realized that this 

guy drove the red SC I had spotted in my 

neighborhood. And so it was, I had finally 

met Ken “Fast Freddy” Fredrickson. 

Like Dave, he was quick to invite me to 

Autocross at El Toro. Since then, I’ve 

seen Ken at several PCA events and I 

can genuinely tell you that there are few 

people friendlier than him. 

It’s now June and I’m idling in the 

autocross grid with my first instructor 

Eric Monroe. We’re chatting about 

my car and he’s preparing me for how 

much fun I’m going to have when I hit 

the course. I nervously pull into the start 

position and all seems fine. As I drop 

the clutch I think I hear Eric say, “Save 

your rubber for the course.” I’m off to a 

quick start until I round a set of cones and 

realize I’m completely lost. Eric directs 

me to look ahead and with some effort 

we make it through our first run. It’s 

a warm day but I’m feeling refreshed 

and excited about driving the course 

again. I do better the 2nd and 3rd times 

around and I even get a high-five from 

Eric as I continually shave seconds off 

my time. Looks like his, “FASTER, 

FASTER, FASTER!” cheer is working. 

When we finally get to the timed runs, 

Eric gives me the green light to run the 

course solo. 

Jon Perino’s photo of me at El Toro 

Early on, I heard a few drivers say 

successful autocrossing comes down to 

two variables: Good driving and good 

tires. As my car wasn’t getting itself a 

new driver, I opted for the latter. James 

at Cape Auto oversaw the new tire 

purchase, installation and subsequent 

corner balancing of my car. These may 

seem like simple things but I can honestly 

tell you that it was as if my car had been 

reborn! It’s hard to believe a car from 

1983 can handle so darn well. 

In the months that followed, my wife 

Christina endured several conversations 

that either began or finished with some 

mention of autocross and she has become 

accustom to my early morning alarm that 

gets my tail out of bed, showered and 

down to El Toro in time for a proper tech 

inspection. 

I’m now enjoying my second season 

of autocrossing, and I’ve recruited two 

of the employees from my advertising & 

design business to participate. Jon Perino 

and Isrrael Hernandez have shot and 

assembled a few videos that have been 

posted in the PCA/OCR autocross forum 

and hopefully by the time this article 

publishes, I will have another video from 

the February event posted. And, not to 

leave anyone in the office out, I’ve had 

Christina and I getting ready to roll 

designer, Eric Hollandsworth, create 

me a poster of my car for the office. 

In all, I have had an awesome 

2011. I’ve met several great people 

through PCA and have come to learn 

how to keep the tail end of my car 

where it belongs. Whether you’re new 

to autocross or a seasoned driver, stop 

by my “camp” and say hello. You’ll 

most likely find Dave and I struggling 

to upright a blue shade canopy in the 

pit area.

These are dedicated OCR members 

with a passion for seeing their fellow 

members have a good time playing with 

their Porsches. 

For 2012 Zone 8 has a new set of 

car classing rules that were developed 

so Porsches of comparable speed could 

compete against each other. This means 

you can have a modified 1973 914 in 

the same class as a “fairly” stock 993 

or a 2002 Boxster S and a 1978 911 

SC matched up. The goal of these new 

classes is to make for closer competition 

and to challenge all drivers to get the 

most out of their Porsches on the course. 

After a couple sessions dedicated 

to practice runs, everyone is warmed up 

and the fun begins. About 2:30 the timed 

runs begin that count toward this years 

Championship Points. 

Looking at the results of last week, 

the new classing seems to have achieved 

its desired results. For example, in class 

CC04 Josef West, driving his 1979 924, 

was first in class over Richard Neff’s 

1987 951 Porsche by only .4 seconds. 

In 5 car CC06 class Chuck Bartolon, 

driving his 964, was only bested by 

Jeremy Cottrell in his 1972 911 by .201 

seconds. In class CC08 David Witters 

73 914 was first over Rod Taylor in his 

69 911 by only .052 seconds with Kris 

Scheussler in his 85 911 by only another 

.384 seconds. Six other drivers finished 

out that class. The novice class is open 

to drivers who are new to the series 

and it gives them a chance to compare 

themselves with other new drivers. Jim 

Leslie toped the Novice class driving 

his 2012 Cayman S with Tray Evarts, 

James Leslie, Margie Evarts and 

Dennis Wolfe in the next four positions, 

all four less than 1 second apart! Now 

that is close competition.

needed a mechanic who knows how to 

‘tune’ those engines. The rewarding 

drive after good tuning was well worth 

the time and cost. 

Today’s Porsche are in many way not 

all that different. Sure today’s sparkplugs 

last years instead of weeks - if you were 

lucky, back then. Almost every car out 

there is government mandated to have 

chassis, braking, steering and engine 

over-ride controls to protect us from, 

mostly, ourselves! This has evolved with 

better sensors that monitor some of the 

slightest changes undetectable by human 

sensing. This is why driving on a once 

‘ragged edge’ is all under supervised 

control by computer driven Porsches of 

today. 

And today’s 991 is almost entirely 

computer built. Each nut, bolt and screw 

are torqued to a hair of exact calibrated 

stretch, as perfect as man and computer 

can make them. Some will argue that 

there is an irony in all this as the 2014 

Shelby Mustang 500 will have a 650Hp 

engine, hand built by a specially trained 

team at Ford, and costing a 3rd of the 

price of the fabulous 650+ hp 2012 

Patrick with his wife Linda 

I was shocked to hear the news that Pat 

passed away on March 10, 2012. I had 

just seen him at our open house a couple 

weeks earlier. He was his normal smiling 

self, just chatting with my Dad about the 

latest offerings from Stuttgart. As I sat at 

my desk letting the news sink in, I realized 

that in the past 15 years I’d know Pat, I 

never saw him with anything less than a 

smile. Nothing but kind words ever left 

his mouth. It has always been people like 

Pat that make PCA what it is. To me, Pat 

represented everything a friend should 

be. His passion and charisma were 

contagious. Ever since the first time I 

met him at a PCA event, I noticed that 

911 Turbo GT2-RS. Where is quality 

really found? As much as I love a hand 

built, specialist built, engine - as I do, I 

know from jet engine engineering that 

the computer method is actually more 

efficient. And note, I didn’t say better! 

911 ENGINE OIL PRESURE NOT 

THERE! 

An unfortunate story or a new rebuild run 

on a reliable shop dyno showed very low 

cranking and starting oil pressure? After 

replacing the engine mounted Oil Cooler 

and checking as much as possible nothing 

revealed a cause. A teardown was done 

and everything looked good. Nothing was 

found to be missing. All crankshaft plug 

pins were installed, Oil squirters installed 

and pressure to blow-off tested normal? 

After re-examining the OIL PUMP it was 

noticed that the OIL SEAL between the 

oil Pump and the R/H Engine case was 

not deformed from normal assembly. The 

3 ea nuts securing the Oil Pump to the R/ 

H case were fully threaded and tight but 

the oil seal did not mate tightly against 

the Oil Pump and crankcase? Closely 

examining one of my own oil seals from 

a recent purchased gasket kit for a 3.6

people just wanted to be around him. His 

untimely passing has left a gap in all of 

our hearts. 

Pat had (for many of us) the “dream 

job.” The first time I heard him speak, I 

was enthralled by his tales of traveling 

the globe and driving some of the best 

cars on the best roads in the world. The 

romantic idea of being an automotive 

journalist sounded so appealing. He 

would tease us with pictures of himself 

and his wife, Linda, standing next to a 

Lamborghini that they just drove on an 

Italian racecourse. Where do I sign up? 

Pat worked hard at making his 

dreams come true. Like anything in life, 

good things do not come easy. However, 

Pat always made it seem effortless. To 

be in his company was always a joy and 

privilege. Like many others, he inspired 

me to chase my dreams. Although we 

will all miss him horribly, I’m grateful 

to have been able to share time with him 

and call him my friend. We love you 

Pat. 

Turbo engine, I observed that the oil 

seal, Nr. 999.704.172.50 is a red-orange 

colored seal. (I shall not name the brand 

name here). The specification for this seal 

is 19.5 x 26mm (dia.) and I have seen a 

specification for a thickness of 10mm. In 

my gasket kit I found the red-orange seals 

I had measured at 8.9 mm thick, using a 

Fowler metric caliper. In my shop supply 

I have a separate supply of green “Viton” 

oil seals, with the same part number. The 

Viton seals I measured at 9.9mm thick. 

After installing my Oil Pump on my 

engine, and then removing it, I could see 

a good seating on the green seal. I have 

advised my supplier and suggest anyone 

having serious engine work done inquire 

to the seals being used. 

This is a bit deep for most Porsche 

owners to be concerned about but it 

should be an awareness to all who do their 

own rebuilds. PS My gasket kit was not a 

‘cheap-o’ rebuild kit either. My supplier 

also supplies Porsche dealerships. I can 

only guess a rare manufacturing “issue” 

is suspect. 

Questions, Comments, and inquires 

are welcome.

Breakfast Club/New Members 

Photos by Pamela Horton 

Each month the Club meets at Original Mike’s Restaurant in Santa Ana for Breakfast and to view each other’s cars. Our new members 

attending the March 2012 breakfast are pictured below with their Porsches as well as some happenings from the meeting. Location 

details for the Breakfast Club appear on the back cover of this magazine.

Ed from Walters brought a brand new 991 for everyone to oogle and 

drool over. It created lots of interest before breakfast. 

Some people play house; Pamela plays with houses and with cars. 

Maybe if Ed buys a big new house from Pamela, then Pamela can 

buy this beautiful new Porsche.

of his two years of service Co-chairing the AX events. 

While we will miss Greg, he joins the expanding 

ranks of Emeriti that include Steve Eguina, Jim 

Harris, Bob Scheussler and James Buck. 

Driving Instructor Co-Chiefs, brothers Rick and 

Dennis Neff, presented the Instructor of the Year 

Award. This year we were again lucky to have an 

excellent group of Instructors, two of whom stood 

out: George Pappagelis and Patricia Lynn Taylor. 

Both of these Instructors received many compliments 

from their students over the year, and provided untold 

hours of in-car instruction to Club Members at every 

event. Thank you and congratulations George and 

Patricia Lynn! 

The ‘hot-shoes’ were anxiously awaiting 

the announcement of the Top Gun Award, which 

recognizes the single driver with the highest score 

for the season using the BRI (Bench Racing Index) 

for each Autocross event. The award, presented by 

Emeritus Steve Eguina, went to Carl Vanderschuit. 

Congrats Carl!

You move fast. So do we. 

Almost twenty years ago, we pioneered pleasure-use insurance exclusively to PCA members nationwide. 

Over time our plans have grown. 

They have grown again. A lot. 

Want to commute occasionally? Fine. Want unlimited mileage? No problem. Don’t want to pay a 

deductible? Ok. Or pile savings onto savings: set limits for even bigger discounts. 

There’s more. Our new California program also covers race cars, street rods, trailers, classic and 

custom motorcycles, special interest vehicles (like your Porsche tractor), kit cars and replicas. 

One thing that hasn’t changed is our personal service. We’re here to help you.

How to Clean H5 Llights: 


Next take the light unit to a suitable 

work surface. We used a work shop 

table covered with microfiber cloths. 

You might also try the dining room table 

covered with placemats. The only access 

to the inside of the lens is through the 

bulb hole. 

Once on the table we took our soft 

bristled brush and brushed off all of the 

loose dust and dirt. Next you will need 

to remove the star shaped bulb retainer. 

This is a ½ turn screw-type retainer. 

Once loose you can take out the bulb. 

not to bend the reflector tab inside the 

housing! 

Manipulate the towel around as best 

as possible with your pushing implement. 

We were able to jam the towel into lots of 

nooks without a problem. The top of the 

light housing has a challenging recess to 

clean. 

wipe all of the old road dirt out of the 

headlight buckets, wiring harness and 

gaskets. It is also a wise idea to use a 

q-tip to apply a small amount of antiseize 

to the threaded mounting tabs in 

the headlight buckets. This insures easy 

removal in the future. 

Remember NOT to touch the glass 

part of the bulb. Touching any Halogen 

bulb will leave oils from your fingers 

behind and cause a hot spot on the bulb. 

This will lead to the bulb burning out in 

very short order! (oops, I already touched 

it, now what? Use Denatured alcohol 

on a clean cloth to wipe the bulb down 

before reinstallation.) Each light unit 

also has a desiccant pack attached to its 

bottom. Using your Philips screwdriver 

remove the drier. This will allow quicker 

evaporation of the glass cleaner. 

After removing the bulb, squirt a little 

bit of glass cleaner (2-3 squirts) into the 

housing, insert a paper towel and push it 

in with the long flat blade screwdriver or 

another suitable item. (chopstick, handle 

of a wooden kitchen spoon) Be careful 

Once you feel the lens is sufficiently 

clean, remove the towel. We used 

mechanics fingers to help. Needle nose 

pliers might also help. 

Next the remaining liquid needs to 

be dried from the housing. We chose to 

place our headlights out in the driveway 

in bright direct sun for about 30 minutes. 

If it is a cool or overcast day you can use 

a hair dryer to blow warm air through the 

housing. It is important 

to get them totally dry 

before reinstallation 

or they will fog up 

almost immediately. If 

it is the end of the day, 

take the lights inside 

with you overnight and 

let them dry at room 

temperature or in front 

of a heating duct. 

Re-installation is 

the reverse of removal. 

We chose to spend 

15 extra minutes and 

When you install the outer trim 

ring, take your time and make sure the 

top is hooked properly over the lip of 

the light bucket. Also, carefully thread 

the retaining screw into the bucket. A 

cross threaded screw is no way to end a 

rewarding project! 

Enjoy your sparking clean headlights 

and better nighttime vision!

The Art of Detailing: 

• 

• 

• 

• 


bounds over the consumer line in 

the previous price point. 

Detailer Experience: At this 

level, the detailer should have a 

good understanding of the cars 

being worked on and a few years’ 

experience working for someone 

else. This is a good place for a startup 

detailer with previous experience 

and dedication. 

Level of Attention: There will 

be a reasonable difference in the 

appearance of the car both inside 

and out. Things such as wax residue 

on the exterior trim should not be 

existent. The interior should have 

a nice clean look and areas such as 

vents, windows, carpets, upholstery 

are addressed with great detail. 

Liability: There should be enough 

money budgeted for a good 

insurance policy to cover both the 

car and client. Here, you can expect 

an average of $25-50K in coverage 

per vehicle. 

Detailer’s Future Existence: This 

detailer will be around for a while. 

This is a good price point to grow a 

mobile business and have a steady 

stream of work. 


• Product Quality: At this price point, 

you should be getting the ProSumer 

products at a minimum and edging 

into the High-End product lines. 

• Detailer Experience: This detailer 

should have great expertise in 

certain cars, by now specializing in a 

niche. Great value for the consumer 

as the detailer is highly skilled and 

knowledgeable in the cars being 

detailed. 

• Level of Attention: Many aspects 

of the proper detail that weren’t 

addressed before should be seen. 

In the interior, you should notice a 

pristine ambiance. All of the surfaces, 

leather, carpets, carbon fiber, etc., 

will be cleaned, conditioned and 

protected. The exterior is also 

properly cleaned, conditioned and 

protected. 

• Liability: Since we’re now catering 

to a higher caliber niche, the liability 

• 

of the work is increased. A simple 

mistake on a $30K car is not too 

expensive to remedy. However, 

with the average new Porsche, 

Ferrari or Lamborghini in the five 

to six-figures, ample insurance is 

needed for the unforeseen incidents. 

Liability coverage should be in the 

$75-150K /vehicle range. 

Detailer’s Future Existence: The 

detailer should be focusing on 

growing the company and hiring 

employees. Or, consider detailing 

as the career. One detailer can make 

a profitable living and support a 

family at this price point. 

$1000 and above price point: 

• Product Quality: Products are the 

same as above or a higher quality 

of the above mentioned. Innovative 

products such as Nano Technology 

can be incorporated into a routine. 

These products require greater user 

skills to use. 

• Detailer Experience: Expert or 

specialists in a particular class or 

manufacturer of automobile. This 

detailer will have considerable 

experience detailing, but now also 

has the scope of correcting paint 

blemishes such as swirls, scratches, 

orange peel, etc. This detailer is an 

artist, not a detailer. These detailers 

are usually booked out weeks and 

months ahead. Their reputation is 

well known and the end-result is 

short of breathtaking. 

• Level of Attention: Second-to-none. 

A typical detail at this price point 

will have taken many hours, if not 

days. Areas such as the engine, door 

jams, delicate substrates such as 

painted interior door panel, natural 

wood grain accents, and carbon 

fiber, etc. are addressed with great 

detail. The exterior will exhibit a 

near-flawless to flawless finish, free 

of imperfections. At this level, you 

should be getting a legitimate detail 

that will stand the test of time for 

many months or years, depending 

on use and care. 

• Liability: These details are 

performed on cars that are near or 

above six-figures. A modest mistake, 

such as opening the rear engine 

compartment on a Ferrari Enzo, can 

lead to a costly repair. If the engine 

is hot and the door is opened, you 

risk cracking or snapping the carbon 

fiber lid. This can lead to a repair 

upwards of $100K. A policy with a 

$150K and above is to be expected 

per vehicle. A $1 Million umbrella 

is also to be expected. 

• Detailer’s Future Existence: This 

detailer is at the pinnacle of his/her 

field. These detailers are well-known 

in their circles, well-respected 

amongst peers and the automotive 

community and are the future of this 

industry. This detailer understands 

that there’s more to the business 

than detailing. Playing a role in the 

future of the industry as a whole 

is important. This detailer is wellversed, 

proficient, exhibits smart 

business sense and has an excellent 

future. 

I hope this gives everyone a true look 

as to the value of a proper detail. Within 

every industry there are those that cater 

to the masses and those that specialize 

in understanding a client’s needs. I feel 

you always get what you pay for. So the 

next time you consider a detail, please 

consider what you’re paying for and 

weigh the risk and rewards.

Meeting by Walters Porsche

Editors Notes: (Continued from Page 5) 

penned and pinned last notes and letters 

along with their names on the outsides 

of their coats, this being in the day 

before “dog tags”. As I was doing so, I 

remembered a college professor saying 

the Civil War was fought over “economic 

differences”, so smugly. Well I thought 

as I was walking, the men charging up 

that hill weren’t thinking economics as 

they were going forward, that is for sure. 

I would hope they’d take comfort from 

the flame being passed along to a next 

generation. So much for cynicism. 

Passion and Porsches 

And now, while we’re on the subject of 

cynicism, let’s talk about Porsche. Truly 

if we weren’t romantics at heart, we’d 

drive some nameless econobox and shop 

with only utility and transportation in 

mind. However, in the OCR we drive 

Porsches. I imagine that this is driven 

from the passion side not the rational 

side. Why else would you have a car 

like the GT3? It is loud, noisy inside and 

out... rides rather harshly over any kind 

of broken pavement, which is mostly 

what we have in Southern California 

nowadays, and it has a clutch like a trucks 

that is like working out with a stairmaster 

in traffic. The reason of course is that it 

is so darn much fun, steers like an arrow, 

accelerates like a hungry man in a buffet 

line and corners hard enough to throw the 

latte out of the cup in the holder. Yeah, 

we have the passion. 

Old Bathtubs in Anaheim 

This past weekend was the 356 swap 

meet that has moved in recent years to 

the “Phoenix Club” in Anaheim. I have 

gone to this over the years, beginning 

when it was a fixture at the old Dunkle 

Brothers warehouse in Anaheim just up 

the road. That site is now a condominium 

and Dunkle Brothers have moved way 

up the 5 freeway. But the swap meet is 

more or less the same. It is a once per 

year event and comes and goes in about 

6 hours of a weekend day morning. You 

see the craziest stuff change hands for 

the craziest prices. I saw what looked 

like a pile of rusty small diameter pipe in 

one stall with a +$500 price tag attached. 

Looking at the handwritten sign it was 

advertised as the top works for an early 

356 Convertible. Now we call them 

Cabriolets, as it makes spending that 

much money for a convertible more 

palatable if one uses more fancy words. 

So, one mans junk is another mans prize. 

I don’t know if this was ever sold or if 

it will go back to the end corner of the 

garage looking for the one sun burnt 356 

owner who can no longer put and keep 

his top up in the California sun! But this 

is the kind of thing one sees there along 

with a veritable rolling museum of 356s 

and early 911s. 

This year there was a proud group 

of 912s and 914s banded in the central 

display area. Quite a few of the 914s 

had the 6 cylinder motor badging, which 

would make them rather rare. It is a fun 

day and I recommend it to you for next 

year at least. For lunch I had a bratwurst 

and sauerkraut plate, which made me feel 

quite the Tyrolean with all of those early 

Austrian influenced Porsches present. 

Waxing Finely in the Sun 

Oh my, will this years Concours be 

something? At Shady Canyon, of all 

places, and for once an afternoon/evening 

event as opposed to the usual “0 dark 

thirty” beginning that we have grown 

used to in the automotive enthusiasts 

world. We’ll have a catered dinner, 

which includes an evening dinner dance 

so all the family will have something to 

attend and enjoy. I am practicing a couple 

of demi-plié so as not to be so tough on 

Mrs. Cooper’s delicate toes when we 

dance. As always, we need volunteers 

for this affair. I think it will be a special 

experience this year so be sure to let 

Nicole Cooper-Boggs and Louise Bent 

know that you’d like to help out. I really 

look forward to seeing everyone there. 

The Board Meets the Greek Way in the 

Columned Confines of the Courtyard 

With such wonderful weather, your 

OCR board met out of doors after our 

last Breakfast Club Meeting at Original 

Mike’s in Anaheim. Mike’s has sofas 

placed in the courtyard and it was a great 

diversion to sit outdoors and conduct 

club business. It is said that Plato, 

Socrates and Aristotle conducted their 

academe in similar surroundings, which 

freed the minds and opened the spirits to 

better communication. Although, it is my 

fervent wish that none of us will ever be 

forced to take Hemlock at any stage of 

our lives. But it made for a memorable 

Board Meeting, I must say. 

Till our paths meet again 

Well happy trails to you until our paths 

cross again. I’m looking forward to more 

of 2012, our shared Porsche Passion and 

the friendship and camaraderie of both. 

See you soon I hope!

Book Review: (Continued from Page 13) 

Porsche’s ‘Calculations Department’ 

studying forces and accelerations on 

valve train components. Because of the 

small size of the Porsche engineering 

staff , Mezger quickly became involved 

in all aspects of engine design. After 

only a few years with the company, he 

worked with Ferdinand Piech (6-7 years 

younger than Mezger, who came to 

Porsche in 1963), to create the production 

901 engine, under the overall direction of 

Ferry Porsche. The engines in even the 

latest 991 version of the ‘Porsche 911’, 

are still based that 901 engine design 

developed by Mezger in early 1963. 

The narrative of Porsche and Me 

is fast paced, first person, sometimes 

reads like a lecture transcript, seeming 

almost breathless at times. Included are 

personal comments about Ferry Porsche, 

Ferdinand Piech, and various racing 

drivers, including Dan Gurney and Peter 

Gregg. 

The text is not a rigidly organized 

recitation of the history of engine 

development, but a somewhat streamof-consciousness 

narration, jumping 

around from engine model to engine 

model, representative of how Porsche 

always had multiple projects underway, 

some of which (like the TAG Formula 

1 engine and Wagner helicopter cabin), 

were for outside customers. 

It includes a fascinating discussion 

of why it was decided to place the 906 

door hinges in a different position from 

the 904 hinges, as well as he evolution 

of the design for the ‘Carrera (3.2) 

chain tensioners’. Of note to some is 

the description of how he improved the 

design of the 356 heads to create the 

high performance Super 90 engine. 

Also discussed is the design 

evolution of water cooling and 

aerodynamic aids. All in all, book 

provides new insight into the things that 

car (and particularly engine), designers 

think about. From a management sense, 

there is interesting commentary about 

the working environment at Porsche, 

under the leadership of Ferry Porsche. 

Porsche and Me has 208, 10x10 

inch pages, with 15 Chapters (ranging 

from Learning Years to Reflections), and 

5 appendices. One appendix is a reprint 

of a 17 page paper “The development of 

the Porsche Type 917 Car’, presented 

in 1972 to the Automobile Division of 

the [British] Institution of Mechanical 

Engineers. It has Forewords by Prof.Dr. 

h.c. Ferdinand Piëch and Ron Dennis
