Well things are pretty much where I left them last time around. I have not yet started to dismantle my special piece of German engineering but will probably start doing this early next month -major deadline for me at the end of Oct.
Please share your personal experience if you do (did) happen to have similar issues.
I feel confident that with the help of this group of highly committed Porsche enthusiasts I shall find a way to the heavens of my air-cooled boxer engine
Thanks to all !
