OT: I have now added to my largest screw ups when putting in an engine Options

[LarryR]

Well I have not been posting much since I have been putting an engine in my 911. I sold it to a friend of mine and part of the deal was that I would put the engine of his choice in. So he bought a rebuilt 3.0 from another friend of mine and I am thinking sweet 1 day job and I am done...

Well the first 1 day job I get it all put back together go to hit the key and clunk starter engages and the engine wont turn ERR??? so I break out the multi meter and measure the battery, then measure the battery under load, then measure the voltage at the starter and again under load there... WTF I know that Dan has built a lot of engines or I would not have recommended the engine from him so I proceed to try to turn the engine over at the crank ... no freakin way seems like the engine is siezed!!!

Fast forward to this weekend I pull the engine then get the trans off... pull the clutch and pressure plate... cha ching the engine will turn... I used the wrong bolts to the pressure plate... these were actually a set of cv bolts that are the same size etc but about 15 mm longer than flywheel bolts. they torqued down fine but stick out far enough to hit a rib on the back of the case...

So this now goes down as one of my biggest screw ups. I bolted it back together with the right bolts and viola running SC. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I figured some of you might get a laugh out of that.
