You are calling it "money shift." Now go and spend it.

Me too, but it sometimes it hurts the pocketbook to work on them if you know what I mean.

I didnt makeup the phrase but I totally realize how the phrase came to be...

I know, my engine is sitting on the floor of the garage right now.

Great pictures Tippy and self gratification is in order. What caused the bent valves or did I miss that part. Let the journey continue keep us posted.

this is how the aircooled engines record type 2 over-revs.

Tippy

I thought that was your engine I saw. Sorry to hear

Hit 2nd gear instead of 4th after topping out 3rd...

I never thought of that but so true

Wow Tippy, Very Interesting! Though I'm intimidated by those pieces.

I have to comment on your ghetto jack stands....Brilliant! You must be good at Jenga.

Tippy

They were Porsche tested; I shook the car back and forth and it did not fall.

Worked for me.

Enjoy. There's nothing like knowing every noise and vibration because you built the engine.
That is, of course, if you get it back together.

nice write up cory, thanks for sharing and keep plugging away, you will get it back together.

mostly I like the cam chain tenstion rollers, much better idea than a strip of "hard plastic" like the 3.4's have. hat one really escapes me why they would have opted to do that.

Tippy

Oh I will, just a matter of time and more importantly - money!



Of course I will keep sharing, I really dont know the guys from the 911 forums or 911 turbo forums; just too slow over there.

Well, they do infact have plastic ramps. 4 to be exact that are mounted to the cam cover housings. Matter of fact, once the motor overrevved, it broke one of them. No damage done though.
