Today I pulled the 3L and found the source of the oil leak, it was one of the the rocker shaft. No one to blame except but myself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Last minute changes to the gears, I checked the gearing spreadsheet and the M gear looks to be too low.
I found a 912 4-speed with A-H-Q-X gears, I used the A , H and X then replaced Q with a P ratio.

With those wheels you will look faster!

With the new tires you will be faster.

Looking forward to this weekend! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

What's been done to the 3.2? Does it have a Carb Cam? That really opened up my 3.2...

Keep us posted on the Race! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

In the off season I found the 3.2L, I just put Webers on and raced it.
It looks like it might need the valve guides replaced so I might change pistons, cams and do some head work at that point.

I didn't want to suggest the Manta kit car because I never heard of one used in any form of racing.
Or on the road.
Or completed.
Or anything.
But....oh, what a beautiful shape !
