What a great idea! I am in the process of turning a connecting rod into a door handle for the outside door of my garage. Rather than have a traditional twist type of ***, I chose a lever-type which has proven to be better at opening the door especially with a handful of tools or materials.

I'm putting the finishing touches on it today.. Back to Aircooled mode tomorrow, and I'll clear my workbench of the R40!

Can I get in the queue for one of those tables?

So the R40 is the 996.2 base (3.6l) pushed to 4.0l, correct? I wasn’t looking at these engines for my car, except I’m now drooling at what’s out there: https://flat6innovations.com/service...s-f6i-engines/

I believe to get the R40 designation it is built by Jake personally.

Correct. The R- Series engines follow a completely different protocol here. My personal purchasers only deal with me directly. @808Bill knows the benefits of that :-)
My team manages the regular schedule, and builds exceptionally well, but the R- Series isn't even created on the same property as the normal FSI engines.

The R40 @4.0 is also a completely different engine combination than the Stage II @4.0 that it was derived from.

I've been hearing that a lot lately.. Too bad I'd rather build Aircooled engines myself these days.

Sold two more last week, both were R43s, though.. That'll keep me happy for a while, I think that puts 8 more on my plate.
