Hi Rob ,sorry i left after lunch with a heavy head. I will need to borrow a boroscope tomorrow to go into the spark plug holes to examine things. I did hooked all the wires back,the plug for ignition was caught in the rubber plug and i did not see it .....If a valve dropped would that be cylinder head work not done correctly? I just hoping for a miracle-well got one fuel line made for me by the GURU-GREG.

The only think you heard on Saturday that you should take with more than a grain of salt Luan, is what Greg said. What I said or for that matter many others - don't put much worth in it. Engines are hard to turn over sometimes. But they should move.

To the salesman at the tire store, " What size tires do I need for my 928?"

Speaking as an academic, the only dumb question is the one not asked.

My point to Erik was that, if you don't know something, it is better to ask.

Now with that being said, lots of newbies become a JAFO , because those who think they know something should be obvious wrongly jump on new owners or potential owners.



If you don't know what a JAFO is click the link.

None of us were experts when we started this stuff. I can say that without the patient counselling of others, I would not have had near the experience I've enjoyed with the 928. I can't be the only one. So, patient counselling is the duty of those who have passed this way before. Pay it forward, pay it back, and have fun in the process. Simple formula.
