Hello All, Can't say enough how invaluable this site is for info and all around general knowledge, and what a great group of enthusiests. I recently purchased a 1987 911 targa (turbo look) and anticipate an engine rebuild. The car had a rebuild 90,000 miles ago, and puffed a litle upon initial startup (per previuos owner) the car sat for the last 18 months and now smoked alot when I first started it for about 4 minutes till I shut it down. Getting to the point. I'm sure a rebuild is in order. I am assuming that with the rebuild I should be replacing the pistons and cylinders, the car has a total of 230,000 miles. Should I upgrade to a 3.4L or just replace the 3.2 and are Nikasils the way to go? Excuse my ignorance but what little knowledge I have amassed is from this site. Also I just ordered two of Waynes books 101 projects, and 911 engine rebuilding book. I am a retired police officer and really wish I could attempt this project myself . I am a quick learner. but for now your advice on the cylinder and pistons issue is appreciated, Thanks, JohnnyO
