So, after being sold a car with a blown engine, and 2 years of rebuilding an amazing 2.4, with all of the upgrades, ideas and tips from this amazing group and help from the best aircooled Porsche techs in the business, this happened today.

it is very important to get the car stripped and the metal dusted and treated as soon as possible before it starts to deteriorate. Remove everything, strip down the engine and put some marvel mystery oil in the cylinders and intakes, media blast the areas without paint, clean off all of the painted surfaces, etch the bare metal and prime with zinc chromate. At least that will preserve the car before it becomes hopeless. As it is, it is really not too bad. We have repaired worse for customers in the past.
