Indeed - I just remember spaghetti on top of that engine - and it was all 3 mm diameter and brittle to the point where it'd turn to dust when you look at it wrong!

Like I said, not expensive, but tedious. If that's what you like to spend your time with? My buddy did enjoy it. I thought it was torture.

Of course, replacing ignition wires on the 993 is about as much fun, but at least I don't work towards driving a dump truck when I am done. LOL!
