And out from the back there arose such a clatter.....
OK, I admit it - I stalled my new 996 twice the first day. One time was trying to be really careful about ground clearance going up a drive way for the first time, the other time similarly paranoid going over a speed bump foir the first time. Embarrassing, yes.
Both times when I restarted it there was a horrible set of noises that came from the engine. Knock, ping, clatter until it caught. Almost sounded like valves hitting the pistons. I assume that this was because some of the cylinders had unburnt charge left in them from the stall, and that they knocked on restart. Sound plausible? (Car runs just fine.)
