I had a nice 2.7 in this car... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
7R case was shuffle pinned and time certed, squirters on back side of pistons. Carrera tensioners, 964 cams, 40IDFs that had been massaged by Jerry Woods, Carrera 2.7RS pistons and cylinders... worked wonderfully with as much or more torque than a stockish 3.2L. Ran headers and twin pipe sport muffler... After 5 trouble free years of running I ended up spinning a crank bearing and breaking the crank between the 3rd and 4th main bearings....going into turn 8 at Laguna....down shift break......bang....that is not supposed to happen....shut off the motor and coast down the hill into the pits...(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Was hoping that the fly wheel had come lose from the crank, but no deal... Ended up putting an original 2.0L 914-6 motor in, selling the case for good $$$ and had the car back on the road in two weeks... Ended up selling the car a few months later for an '87 Carrera.... Should have kept the 6......oh well. Attached image(s)
