I plan to disassemble the engine in the fall to replace the following:
1-Piston rings
2-Piston pin
3-Connecting-rod bearing
4-Crankshaft bearing
-gaskets

If necessary, I will also replace the pistons.

The gaskets are already bought. The rest of the spare parts are more or less NLA.

exception: Connecting-rod bearing - rose pasion

Where to find the rest of the parts mentioned above?

1-Piston rings - Total Seal
2-Piston pin - why?
3-Connecting-rod bearing - Mittelmotor, 'colonel' on 924OC in UK
4-Crankshaft bearing - Mittelmotor, 'colonel' on 924OC in UK, there is a guy in France on here and 924OC remaking some

You will need to do rod bolts too. From Porsche or there was some ARP for sale on here. Similar price either way.

There is a thread on 924OC regarding forged pistons if required. But there are some cast OEMs now available from Porsche at circa €250 per piston. If you do pistons then the pin will be supplied

If you change the pistons you should also machine/hone/match the cylinders.
Also, if you do this overhaul, dont forget about the head, new guides and valve stem seals, new springs, new tappets and obviously new valve seats, make sure you do a 3 angle job on the seats as i think whats on the car now is a 3 angle job, so if you change to new things make sure you match or improve the quality of whats on the car now, dont just assume new is better.

I took the 924 turbo engine compression: 8.2 8.4 8.6 8.2 bar

I did not find how much an ideal compression should be for 924 turbo engine.

At 924 NA I had found 12 bar.

I was unable to unscrew the exhaust manifold bolts. Some of them are rounded and blocked.

I noticed that several 924 turbo owners on the forum made a major engine repair. Did no one measure the compression after the repair? I am very curious how many (bar/PCI) got on average on each cylinder after the repair.

I disassembled the engine. The cylinder head is removed. The strangest thing discovered would be the upper segments (compression) made of 2 pieces. All 4 are composed of 2 pieces 1/3 + 2/3.

Piston size 86,75 mm (Mahle)

The exhaust gallery has a rather long crack.
The piston shirts look pretty good.
I will measure in the near future:
Cylinder block, Pistons, Connecting rod bush, Crankshaft bearings

Sadly, though I did rebuild, i didn't get the rings broken in properly, my fault/problem, so I don't have any usable compression numbers.

Will be fixing that this spring.

Note that the compression in a Turbo should be lower than an NA due to a lower CR.

Its not good practice to use others compression test results as an absolute number. Too many variables...... CR ratio, uncalibrated gauges, differing temperatures.... etc. And to be honest, I never checked in the 6yrs since rebuild

The cracked top rings is something ive seen on several s1 engines, including the one my original engine. Ive not encountered the same on the s2 engines, so some changes might have been made in production.

Regarding compression, i think my s2 engine was around 10,5 something bar. But it was made along time ago so i cant remember it in detail.

I thought I was the only one in the world who discovered something like that. No friend of mine ever encountered craked top rings in other engines (of course not Porsche 931- other brands / model).

I expect S1 to have less than 10.5 bar.


The Porsche 924 turbo (931) is a total lack of information. In golf 2 for example there is a program in which you enter:
- engine code
- thickness of the head gasket
- Piston protrusion
- Inner diameter of head gasket
- Capacity of piston (cm3)
- Capacity of head (cm3)
- CAPACITY OF COMBUSTION CAMBER (Stroke: / Bore:)

And you receive results.

We used to have that supplied by Ideola's Garage. It calculates the compression ratio. Unfortunately its gone unless someone can host it instead of Dan?

Thank you @jacobroufa

I studied the pistons and segments a bit yesterday. From what I managed to understand, the S2 pistons are different from the S1 ones. But the segments seem to have the same dimensions.
Is it a good idea to use S2 segments instead of S1?

S2 Withstands better compression ratio, higher power, etc.

S1 = offset bowl ~45cc & 7.5:1 CR (+ any skim of head)
S2 = central bowl ~35cc & 8.5:1CR (+ any skim of head)

S2 piston would be my preferred design, but with a slightly thicker Cometic MLS headgasket to bring CR below 8.5:1 for sub 1bar boost. Closer to 8 - 8.2:1CR if wanting over 1bar boost. Big boost would need to be closer to 7.5:1

are you sure s2 is 8.5:1?? thought it was 8.0

944 turbo is 8.5
