BUILD INSTRUCTIONS

22
AGORAMODELS PORSCHE 917KH
Spare screws are included with each part. Occasionally, you may be instructed to keep spare or
unused screws for a later stage. Keep these spares in a safe place and label them correctly.
Please make sure you don’t mix up the screws. They look quite similar, but the threads do vary slightly.
Using the wrong screws may damage the parts.
When securing parts together using multiple screws, fit each screw loosely to ensure all the parts are
correctly aligned before gently tightening them firmly, but not overtight, in the order in which you
placed them.
The screwdriver can be magnetized by stroking it with a magnet (fridge magnet, etc.) enabling it to
hold the screws and make assembly easier.
If a screw is tight going into a metal part, do not force it as you may shear the head off. Remove it and
put a tiny smear of Vaseline, soap or light oil on the thread. That will lubricate it and make it easier to
drive home.
During the course of this build, you will receive many pieces that you will assemble immediately –
following the instructions in the corresponding stage – and other pieces that you should store safely
to one side, for use in future assembly stages.
Left and Right! When building your Porsche 917KH, the left or right hand side refers to each side as
you are sitting in the car.
!
WARNING: Some parts are assembled using magnets. These magnets can cause serious injury if they
are swallowed. Keep away from children. If you suspect a magnet has been swallowed, seek medical
help straight away.

You may find it easier
to partially tighten the
screws at this step,
then fully tighten after
completing Step 2.

STAGE 06: LEFT-SIDE OF GEARBOX
AND TRANSMISSION JOINT

Fit the inner flex
disc (6F) onto the
transmission flexible
joint (6E) as shown and
secure it in place with
an IM screw.
Fit the transmission
seal (6C) onto the

the thread of the FM
screw with a drop of
oil if it is difficult to
screw in.

Fit the cylinder tops
(7D) onto the cylinder
bottoms (7E) to create
two cylinders.
Fit the linking bracket
(7F) onto the interior
of the right engine
block (7A) and fix in
place with three BM
screws as shown.
STEP 1
STEP 2
Align the cylinders with the
right engine block (11A) and
secure them to the engine
block by driving through
two of the IM screws.
You may wish to super
glue the cylinder parts
to avoid splitting when
securing them to the
engine block.

Press together the
camshaft gear
housing (7B) and
camshaft gear cover
(7C), then fit it into the
right engine block
(7A) using the two
pins on the housing as
shown.
Note that one of the
pins is larger than the
other when fitting the
these parts together.
You can glue the parts
together to stop them
springing apart when
fitting in place.
STEP 3
The camshaft gear box should look like this
once in place on the engine block.
You may need to file excess paint
off the camshaft gear box so that
it fits flush with the engine block.

Remove twelve spark
plugs (9B) from their
frame at the points
indicated with red
arrows. Push them
into the right cylinder
head (9A) using the
wider lug (orange
arrows) as shown.
We recommend using
a pair of sprue cutters
for removing and a
pair of tweezers for
fitting these small
parts. If any of the
plugs are loose, use a
small amount of super
glue to hold it in place.
Align the right
cylinder head (9A)
with the exhaust cam
cover (9D) and fix the
parts together with
two EP screws.

head (9A) with the
rivets facing outwards
(red arrow).
Push the remaining
end shield (9E) into
the opposite end of
the cylinder head (9A),
with the rivets facing as
shown (red arrow).
Next fit four of the
cylinders assembled in
the previous stage (8F
