everyone seems to be missing the point................................................................... ..............

No 928 that was every built was intended to SIT for years and years or 10+.....yes the chemical formula of aluminum block engines causes batteries to create themselves and DESTROY things....

Our engines suffer the consequences...I have seen this 1st hand over a grand total of maybe 3 engines.....Doc has seen how many....50+....... Whats really sad.....my lemons race 928 was a used engine quoted at 117k when I bought it for $300.....then it did MORE than 100 hours on track.....when it was torn down there was significant corrosion damage...insane really...but it still ran great
