There are lots of good ideas that have been mentioned, and these cars are not that difficult to work on in comparison to more modern, computerized cars. However, as the weather starts getting colder in Chicagoland, the desire to work on them seems to wane unless you have a nice, heated spot to work.
If your school has a lift, you'll get a chance to see how everything is put together as well. Enjoy your project!

All of the test and essays are finished. I am happy about that. The garage at school is heated because it is also a classroom, but my home garage is not. We are about to get a taste of November tomorrow. That will be a shock.

Second of all, TRE Cup's advice is spot on. Follow it to the letter.
Third: I'm curious about the credentials of the mechanics that stated that the issues were fuel injector-related. Were they Porsche specialists? Were they German specialists? Lots of us have been led down the incorrect path by wrenches that weren't particularly familiar with our particular brand of car.
You have a Bentley. If the engine doesn't start after all the prepping, the first step would be to check for fuel and spark. As previously mentioned by other posters, the problem could be as simple as a sensor, a fuel pump or even the fuel distributor. Or, it could actually be the injectors after all, LOL.
FYI: Many here have had the injectors rebuilt for a very reasonable price.
Again....good luck. Keep us posted on your progress.

No and no. My dad and I are beginning to question the mechanics too. How could two injectors go bad at the same time? The people over at rennlist say that the sensors (Head temp and O2) go bad before injectors as well.
