Well hopefully this all turns out ok. Seems like some engines have been delivered to customers. All sounds a bit vector w8 in the end.

Curious as to how this turned out? I see the Taormina racing website shows cases in stock. Have people built engines from them? Did everything eventually turn out ok?

They can both be unreliable, they can both run for many 100s of thousands of miles. Climate, service, treatment - these all matter.

Air cooled engines break head studs and wear out valve guides. ...

I like the car. It’s yours but I wouldn’t be changing it. Too rare to throw away the burgundy and chop up the roof. Easy to weld some flares and vents onto a molested 75 and make it exactly as you...

86 needs the painted trim rings to cover the chrome surrounds on the h4 IMO. Should be any easy thing to sort out. Wheels look great.

Not a 911 but just rewatched willy wonky and the chocloate factory (original version) and Charlie picks up the coin that buys him the golden ticket in a drain underneath a White 356.

One of mine came from riverside ca and then Las Vegas. It’s crazy how clean and dry the car is. Pity about the windscreen seal though. Engine plated parts still shiny.

You don’t need all valves open to test headers. You’re testing the integrity to the back of the valves. Can you do a smoke test up the tailpipe with intake closed? Some smoke will go through the...

It seems that all of these repairs already have the pop-off valve in them. Does that mean the pop-off valves don't fix the problem on older boxes?

This plus interior refresh sounds great but the 17in wheels aren’t going to give you much. It’s unlikely to be called a hotrod by anyone but would be a nicely updated car. Keep all the elecrtrpnics...
