So he didn't find the problem and just put it back together? The "smoking gun" has to be found, else something simply does not go back together... It comes further apart till it is found.

It sounds to me like the problem you had originally, is the same problem you have now, with a slightly different symptom.

The timing stuff is over my head. Im going to trailer it to the Indy Monday and let them fix it.

Flat6 Innovations

Sounds like it might be over their head, too...Unless they have the correct timing tools, they can't do this job. Period.

All they work on is Porsche so I would assume they have all the tools to do the job.

Flat6 Innovations

That doesn't mean anything.... I pluck cars from other shops all the time that have no clue and "all they do is work on Porsche". They attend my classes, and in general the enthusiasts on this forum are more attentive than they are during my enthusiast classes.

This is especially true if they do a ton of Aircooled Porsche work. Air and water mix and evaporate! Nothing is the same between them.

There's no one else around here close but a dealer and I've heard good and bad things about them. Which would be the better choice, the indy or the dealer?

Call FSI and arrange a pickup - let the pros fix it or at least tell you definitively what's wrong - North Alabama's not that far from Cleveland, Georgia.

Dropped it off at the dealer this morning.

And?

robman

Got it back Thursday. He set the timing on bank 1 and now it's running smooth and quite now. He said it must have happened when my brother in law removed the ims flange before I had it on tdc and locked down.

Flat6 Innovations

Which is THE cardinal sin....

Yep
