Notice my attempt to hijack this tired thread with an even more tired topic. So, which is the better car, a 964 or a 993?

Bull is that picture on your avatar made at the same track as mine, only when there used to be grass in the desert?

Just be certain to buy up a supply of engine seals and name the car The Exxon Valdez! Well, both of our avatar pictures are outside of the USA........but even I'm not old enough to go back to when the desert had grass!

Bull, you didn't tell him about replacing the bolts with titanium ones

I'm worried about who's going to replace Ray Calvo.

I just read this whole thread - and I'm laughing my a$$ off!!
Well, I removed mine after reading many previous threads.
The engine is running cooler, even in St. Louis heat and humidity.
The car runs so much better, I'm spending all my time and money on the slippery slope.
I'm spending WAY too much time on Rennlist, especially writing posts like this.
My love life hasn't improved.
But, I did just save a lot on my car insurance.
Jean - What was the outcome of that leak-down test results situation?

Could it be be that all the other cylinders were properly "aired" since the tray was loose while number 6 was the only one well covered by the tray and therefore I have premature valve guide wear at 111.7k miles on cylinder 6?
Worth digging further, I will share the results with this great board.
Maybe this explains the instability on one side of the car at 150mph, and why I have one rear tire more worn out than that other? I bolted the tray properly now and will use my datalogger to compare.
Mike, I hear ya.
