3380148 was the beginning of the mag cases for the 901/17 according to Grady Clay

Nice reference, visited Gradys place waaay back when on a cross country trip.

I miss Grady

I took him on a 28 hour road trip to a race track for a weekend.
he would read papers he was writing out loud to me in the car
always about details of porsche parts and technical changes.

Price drop, $9,000.00.

Still a lot of money for a core 2.0 long block without leak down numbers.

Leakdown this week. Nice work, off to eBay.

I bought a complete 2.4L running for less than that, with leak down ahead of purchase. To each their own but I'd suggest the issue isn't with the forum here...
