Just a little duct tape should fix that up, right?

Pending the arrival of the funds, the motor is sold.

So, anyone know of a 3.2 Carrera motor with all of its DME stuff for sale? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

Need an oil tank too... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

I see more of McMark's demeaning looks on the horizon! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Curious why not a 1995 3.6? I love my 3.2, but now the 3.6's are not that much more in price than a 3.2.

3.6 is a possibility... Paul Sayegh is a friend and relatively local to me. He has offered to advise in the past... Seems like the 3.2 is getting harder to find as well.

I'm glad you sold it, I have been thinking about it hard and heavy for a few days. Now I can think about something else.

The two usual reasons. Availabilty and price. If the right motor comes along it wouldn't be an issue.

Both seem readily available at Parts Heaven and LA Dismantlers. I have to research what little devils hide in used 3.6 liters. 3.2 liters are pretty bullet proof with the exception of head stud pulls.

I have to say, I rode in Paul Sayegh's 3.6 liter conversion when he first got the engine in it, OMG!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

3.2 don't pull studs, they wear out valve guides, 3.6 wear out valve guides and need the heads and cylinders cut, Unless they got the recall update...
I like the twinplug 3.6...3.2 is the best all around..IMHO

Your opinion should not be so humbly held Jeff... I will certainly consider that!

I thought only the 964 motors had the head problems. The 3.2 and 3.6 are known for bad valve guides. The 96-98 3.6 varioram engines are also known for clogged fuel injection problems. My 3.2 is an original euro 1984 engine with good compression and over 200k miles on it. The only thing I had to replace so far is the leaky oil return tubes.

Got the GT headlight kit installed. Not too challenging. Pretty much just a matter of cutting a new hole for the latch arm to pass through. Still gotta mount the release cables.

Ha! Glad you're excited. No check today. Kind of funny too considering it's just over the hill... I'll check tomorrow and let you know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
