I've had no previous experience as a mechanic but can I restore my Dads old 911 and fix the cracked head? Here I'm removing more components from the top of the engine connected to the wiring harness and the harness itself. There are only a couple of places where I believe I unnecessarily disconnected things - otherwise this shows an easy way of removing these parts.
