My battery is totally dead!! Even attempts to jump start get one crank then nothing. Could I push start this car or do I need some juice in the battery?(told you I was a newbie!!) Also, it's getting to be time for a valve job. Should I go ahead and get the valve job or live with the smoke a little longer and save up for a rebuild? Thanks

Push start it, get the battery charged and while it is in the shop get the valves adjusted ASAP.
Valve adjustments will run you $300-500, if you wait, new heads (or worse) can run thousands. no one wants to see a smoke Porsche, unless it is comming from the tires.

Sell it, burn it,just get away from it. All these things do is brake down and cost bags full of money to fix!! Mike <img src="graemlins/crying.gif" border="0" alt="[crying]" />

Hey Robertson who was talking to you!! Nobody. And where does it say in these forum walls all Porsche encounters have to be good ones. It's about time some of these new boarders knew the truth......These things are ****!!!! And I'm not afraid to say so. So why don't you just head on out to your garage and fix your car.......I'm sure somethings wrong with it. Mike.

this is a person w/ a deep-seated problem (or a fouled sense of humor or self-importance?) having nothing to do w/ Porsches, Corvettes or even cars. some disturbed people project their own problems onto inanimate objects or even categories of people ("racists" are an example). there is always noise, slag, & dregs at the bottom... non-response is the best response.

Mike,
This forum is intended for people who own Porsches and want to share constructive/interesting information among themselves. If your contribution is limited to bullying other people who are seeking a solution to a problem, then I for one, would like you to remain silent. I think that it would be safe to assume that most other participants in this forum share my sentiments on this issue. Your continued "mouthing off" and use of foul language just further reinforces your apparent immaturity and lack of education. I encourage you to prove me wrong by saying something intelligent and constructive! Otherwise, please spend your time on a Corvette forum where your comments would be more useful.

Wow! You actually spelled a word right...too bad you will be kicked off the board. I was really enjoying your intelligent posts and unique use of the english language. I have never met a Canadian I didn't like, until now!
