No no no! I am seriously planning to drive this as my around town car. I want to enjoy it and cruise it around.

The engine is coming along nicely. I expect that to be back with Scotty by the end of the month. Doing a complete rebuild, all new bearings, rings, replacing the pistons and cylinders (staying 3.2) using the 964 cams and the heads are getting new guides, valves, etc. I expect the engine will be perfect. I really like the guy doing the work - he has over 30 years building Porsche engines and definitely knows his stuff (Thanks Scotty for the hook-up).


You really think the engine will get done in a month? I would think that getting the machine work done would take that long. It will be awesome of it happens that fast! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Are you/do you need to use rubber isolators on the cooler mounts?

went to a friends shop last week before I headed south and punched some louvers. One for Michael, one for Mark (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I like it. 33% more louvers than the pms parts.

Yes. I am sure Scotty plans to use rubber isolators on the mounts. Thanks for mentioning that though.

Bill- the engine parts are already at the machine shop. My understanding is we will have them back fairly soon. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

Excellent! That is fast. I just assumed (from reading other people's engine rebuild experiences) that it would take a month to get the parts back from the machine shop. A 3.2L in that car should be awesome!

You know I was expecting the engine to take a few months too. However this builder has a machine shop he uses regularly and they apparently jump on his work ASAP. As soon as the heads arrived they jumped on them. I can't wait to get the report re the crank and rods, etc. The builder said they looked perfect but were still going to get inspected, polished, etc. I really am looking forward to seeing the engine assembled and ready to install.
I think this build is going to really come together now.

Engine builder, mr. x, often drives up here to test his engines on his friends engine stand so maybe I'll see it run before you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Can anyone at least reveal where mr. x has his machine work done? I am not looking for a builder, just a competent east coast machine shop.

OOOPPPS. Forget it guys, the headers belong to Scotty. My bad! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) At what point is it fair to claim old age?

Scotty can claim old age.

He is really really old.

Kinda sad how old he is.

Are you sure he's 'memberin' right?
