It's not going to have an LS1. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
There were a fair amount of miles on the timing belt. The irony is that I'd been planning on having it replaced soon, but hadn't done it yet. Intelligence=learning from others' mistakes. Wisdom=learning from your own mistakes. I'm getting pretty wise. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) It's certain valves are toast, how many and how bad the rest of the cylinders and stuff are is a matter for another day when the head comes off and we have a look. Right now, I'm not really in the mood to take pictures and the full diagnosis will wait for later. The ultimate plan was a turbo project for this car (long term), but here's hoping it can be resurrected as a naturally aspirated 968 again soon. It's gonna cost me, yes. - Nelson |

They got cheap so cheap people bought them and didn't do the (expensive, YES) maintenance, so they all got cheaper. Thanks for keeping this 968 on the road. It is a great car. |
