This was unsavory enough for me when I tore it down.

 

Whoa, Steve, what the hell was up with that motor? That oil pan looks like a bowl of grape nuts.

 

It was the take out motor from the Silver car. Spun #2 at 6200 rpm, bent #2 rod, ruined crank, and scored #3?...other than that it will buff right out. The bearing pieces are what I pulled from the lower pan and placed on the splash shield. It will be a cheap donor block for a re-sleeve or +2 overbore if anyone needs one.

 

The recent experience of "johntorg" on his thread:
https://rennlist.com/forums/944-turbo-and-turbo-s-forum/405658-dodged-a-bullet-timing-belt-pics.html
reminded me of this thread so I thought I'd bring it back to life.



He bought the car and drove it home 1000 miles, then checked the belts just to be thorough...

 

Dodged a VERY expensive bullet there!

 

My $500 83 parts car... 17yo PO crashed it into a ditch. He fixed the front suspension up, and then the timing belt blew. Took out 5 valves... and this is what the inside looked like.

Good investment. That's Wipeout there helping me part that sucker out.

 

[QUOTE=tifosiman;3855679]Boy, "unsavory" can mean so many things.

Sir, I'm sorry, your 944 is emitting an unsavory amount of radiation.



What, this waterproofing isn't "factory"?



My dad has an awesome set of tools.

Dayyyyyyum. That sure got balled up good, eh?

 

looks like a quantum singularity formed right where a fender mounted antennae goes.

Talk about a blast from the past there... That was fun. All over again tomorrow?

I think beating women is wrong.

 

It was all worth it... It finally got really good looking 8)
