hey guys - it's been a while, but i just received a call from jack from morris brothers in utah (formerly wolfsburg motors in seattle) who rebuilt my engine - he took apart the engine and found the problem - what he found is way surprising, as the 356 completed hundreds of miles of the tour with no problems except the ticking sound - it wasn't a rod bearing, it was a . . . (drum roll please!) . . . completely broken crankshaft!!! - the crankshaft was brand new for the 1st build from porsche directly - jack figures that porsche is not using real porsche cranks - so there will be a new SCAT crank installed - BTW, the rest of the engine is perfect, as the full flow oil filter picked up any crap - what a long strange (and expensive) trip it's been!!!
see you guys at the next tour - thanks for your help once again - cheers, brad in seattle
