my building of it
other components installed in the engine
the short motor itself
as i have decided i am happy with the engine now fitted to it, even if i did find the cause and repaired it so it was working perfectly, i will not be putting the 6L back in the orange one.
if it does not sell on ebay i will strip it to see if i can see the cause.
IF it was found to be the short motor itself, i think the cost of shipping/time scale/ would just not be worth the hassel.
at this moment in time i have no problem with Carl and his ability to supply and build stroker short motors.
cheers

my 2 regrets in life are starting smoking and then trying to give them up....
the day job is taking up most of the hours in the day, but a compression test will be the first thing i try if it does not sell.
true, if it did have good compression it would increase its value, but if it did not it would decrease its value.
but as i say it is not going in any 928 i own so it either goes to a good home now or if it does not sell and i can fix it it goes on ebay again - inc USA.
Then I back track, look for Phil himself and find him here.
Then I read the thread and become even more impressed with Phil’s perseverance.
What an amazing story.
just a quick update.
so as of today i have done approx 4k happy miles in the old girl since post 54, all is working just as it should and it looks, goes and sounds just as i hoped it would when i first started this project 11 years ago.
just given it a service, and a good check over and the engine has no leaks and runs sweet, the only things i needed to change were the rear tyres as they were on 2mm but when i looked at the date on them they were still the original ones i had fitted 10 years ago so you can tell i don't leave black lines when i set off from the lights.
i would have been out driving it today but as i live in Cumbria -the Lake District- its raining
i still cannot believe how many people have viewed the youtube video.
and i still need to strip the 6L engine, should get round to it later in the year and will let all know if it's my f up or not.
but i will be getting my other project 928 back to full health this year, will post more pictures in that thread in a couple of weeks, the thread is "A POS SE"
cheers
