Thanks, Mike!

Thanks, pjg. I can only imagine the amount of time that Dwayne put into the write-up for his 87.

I thought Doug did a Fantastic job on this write up - complete with the T-Belt Victory Dance! I also liked the additional tips and information on checking water pump wear/operation, using the impact driver on the water pump bolts and the addition of the cam seals procedure - WELL DONE! Hopefully, we'll see more - Keep up the great work!

Rated thread with a few stars. Thank you for compiling. Probably would sell like hotcakes on Ebay...at least until Porsche whiffed of it. Might be a great item for the Owners Club, too...

I didn't know about the star rating system, thanks. I'd be happy for the 928OC to include it.

Landseer, your're welcome. I enjoyed it so much that it almost makes me wish I had another one to do..... Yikes, I need to stop that train of thought right now!
