Show us the head also. I'm betting there was some serious carnage when the piston smacked the head a few times..
Has Porsche Motorsports released parts to you guy's for the rebuild ?? B |

oh the car drove part of a lap on 5 cylinders LOL..
cant read the bearings at all.. who know what kind of forces the engine saw AFTER the break while it was still running... Paul I think crate motors from Porsche Motorsports are like $85000.... rebuilding this will be pretty damn close to that |

Freshens are upwards of 45k depending on if it arrives at their door in a running condition or not.
Yep. I like using the 730 myself (now) B |

Not sure if you knew this, but I thought I would point it out.
I have the factory GT3RS/R manuels on this server if you want to download it. Right click on it and do a "save as" http://914world.com/downloads/GT3RS/GT3RS.pdf B |
