+1 what GeorgeRud said.
My engine mechanic isn't a fan of pipercross filters because of this as well.

They flow great, but if you get them soaked in fuel and backfire...it's a REAL mess.

My engine sheet metal is getting powdercoated right now. Floor pan goes on this week. Drilled all the areas for the plug welds. Sprayed cold galv on all thw areas that are hidden. Did a bunch of grinding and blending.. Almost over the hurdle.

Looking great! New metal always looks nice and the welding looks sublime.

The best part is we just got a really nice pressure fed sand blast cabinet at work that I can blast it and make it really nice before install.

Spent some time today and welded in the firewall patch areas and prepped amd painted and ready for rear firewall. Decided I am going to leave the top half installed and sister up to the new firewall and plug weld to each other this will give the chassis a bit more strength.. Attached Image

So no updates just been working on my dd as I am off a few weeks from work was able to change cam and lifters in that as it is dod or displacement on demand and the lifters are worn out.. Attached Image





I did buy a new used set of cam towers from Henry @supertec so I can assemble the heads and get the engine back together as I need it for fixturing for some new exhaust..

Also testing the new -6 muffler is showing great promise.. Sound levels are perfect..

Looks like you're not sitting around bored! It's always more fun to work on the Porsche than have to deal with a daily driver.
