Pictures will follow...

Lesniak has the camera in my Jeep....

I started breaking the rings in. Mike Followed in a "tow vehicle". The engine is smoking a lot less now. However, I'm leaking oil someplace on top. I think there is a breather line or something I have hooked up. These is this metal tube thing with a rubber cap at one end and a coupe of vaccuum pickups or looks like that. And I don't know ehre this peice goes....

Sure didn't take you long to start blabbing about your stinky, unbelievably fast new set up

Still waiting for pictures, Tell Mike to bring the camera back and get some pics tomorrow. I cant wait to hear it, Did you change the exhaust system or does it still sound as good as before?

Same exhaust.

I'm not sure if I've just become accustom to the 911, but the intakes sound louder. Ooooh what a sweet sound....

I'll try to finish breaking it in sometime during the week. After I replace the Carb parts. There is a power loss above 5000 RPM, I think it is from the venturies being too small.

Well, it doesn't _look_ any different, except that it is now 2 feet lower than it has been for the past 6 months.

YEAH!

Woohoo! All these 914s coming back to life is really exciting me. I'm on schedule for a late tonight light off of the /6. Sitting a few inches lower due to ~500lbs of engine and tranny back in place after a 4 year hiatus. Congrats Red-beard, and get us some more pics.
