Heads and Gaskets guidance

Also, this car WAS solid running except for the transmission leak.. It makes me so sick to my stomach because I'm the one that did this...
If it ain't broke, I'll fix it 'til it is

You will get a 5 spd.
I don't think it will be this one.

If only want to get it back to running right for now then only replace the blown head gasket and leave everything else alone. Deal with the intake refresh and everything else when you have more money. With lots of elbow grease and couple hunded $$$ you can get it back to running again.

What I really want to do it get it running and reliably drivable for now, and slowly refresh things in the drivetrain and interior as money is available, and in 6 years when I get my M.D. I'll drop it off at porsche and have it made perfect. That's how it would work in my perfect world.

A little off topic, but in 6 years when you get your MD you'll have at least a Residency ahead of you and will have little time and little money. My graduation year was 1990.

And after residency I plan on fellowship. I'm trying to become a cardio-thoracic surgeon. So in all I have 18 years of school left, but I'll be able to afford fixing my car sooner than that hopefully.

Hi Lazer,
I've been a surgeon for 35 years. I still fix my 928 because nobody else near me would do a good job. Also, CVT surgery is a dying trade. I would look elsewhere within medicine for developing fields.
Best of luck to you and PM me if I can be of any help.

Breast implant surgery is very competitive. You will not be 'rich" unless you are one of the best in the field. Most of medicine is highly regulated for the benefit of our paternalistic government. I did not advise either of my children to go into medicine. It has become a nightmare.
Sorry, I am even more sorry that nobody good will be there to take care of me when I need it,

So I'm OK calling the 928 some kind of masochistic 'therapy'? That's my story, yer 'onner.
