It's alive! My 911 is back home as of now. So far, there are no oil leaks, but we'll see what happens after the RPM needle is worked out a little ;).

Marco, thank you for everything. It's assuring to have someone that knows what he is doing. Last thing I need, is to cause a valve to introduce itself to a cylinder. It was a bummer to have the car back together and running, only to have to tear into it again.

Now I have to record the mileage and note how many quarts of oil are in the car. I am surprised that the car is showing no smoke from the exhaust, now that there is no cat.

Anyone wanna go for a drive :)

Dave

You're welcome; it was my pleasure. And thanks for the beer, too. Fat Tire goes a loooooong way in my book.


PS: Wanna race? :D

Congrats, Dave!! Get that car down here so we can take a run up to Palomar. One of the best roads I've been on yet.

Btw, just because you don't have a Cat doesn't mean it's going to smoke. Very light brown smoke usually means unburned fuel, which is usually a result of a mis-adjusted fuel system. You will get that...smell...though. So, how do you like the setup, anyway?

Marco, remember, you only have 4 lug nuts per tire at the moment. Maybe I could use that to my advantage :D.

Scott, will do, but it'll have to wait a few weeks. I'm broke.

Regarding smoke, I still am wary of the 227,xxx mile valve guides ;). Marco and I "dragged" for a minute, when suddenly, my gas peddle went soft :eek:. the ball joint popped off at the tranny - pulled into a gas station and fixed it. My car has a noticeable gain of low and mid end boost and the throttle response is quicker. I saw half of the Valley's police force on the way home, so I did not get to explore things much. The sound is a bit more throaty as well. Something was going down as I went home. All of the side streets off White Oak were blocked by cops and one heli was lighting up the area.

Hey Dave.
Good to see you're up and running again.

Tomorrow afternoon.
