			Thanks for a view of how the other 1% lives!  That's some engine. 
		
	
		
	
			
			
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	The latest Excellence notes that the 8 cylinder type 771 engine (used in the 907) took the factory 220 hours to assemble. How long for one of these? Walt Fricke  |

			I read that too, Walt, about the 771.  The same paragraph said it took 16 hours to assemble a 906 engine, which is basically a 901. . . then again that's assembly only, not teardown, rework and reassembly. 
		
	
		
	
			
			
				
					Back to Tim's topic, what makes this engine's cam timing different than any other four-cam 996 motor? Not to downplay the significance in the slightest, on the contrary, those four-valve water-cooled engines are pretty complicated. Is that Richie in the photo?
