Carrera 3.4 rebuild: the initial startup
Just finished helping a friend rebuild his 3.2 into a 3.4. Nikkies & JEs, Camgrinder 964 cams, lots of new parts.... Here's the initial startup (a 20 minute 2500 rpm run).

Congratulations JB.
I could have listened for the whole 20 min.

Nice work!
My 3.4 is circa 4k miles on, it feels better and better with every mile.

I know how that feels. Nothing better than the first startup.......at least when it runs that good.
congrats, Al

Ya! It's running good - still a little blue smoke on off-the-gas deceleration from 5000 rpm.... that's normal for a little while isn't it? No smoke at all on acceleration or cruising, or light decel.
