Get off my lawn!

Have fun at work Rick.
Richard, as you know it takes very little silicon to ruin a O2 sensor. Just a squirt of WD-40 will do it. I also wonder about the intake powder-coat, and any gaskets. Anything with silicone that can get through the combustion process when the engine is first started can do it. If the engine cranked for a while before it started that could do it. Just a residual spray of WD-40 in the intake and no ignition can kill them. As least that is the information I read about on some web site. I suspect O2 sensors are tougher than that. I have never has an urge to test them. Your arm looked nasty. Too bad it did not leave a Porsche crest branded into you arm. If you have to have a burn a cool logo would be better. Of course it would be in reverse so maybe that is not so cool.

Pete, I presume that trailer belongs to you. It is amazing it did not bend or collapse with many times the designed load. Is there a way to have it checked to KNOW that it is not bent or something is about to break?

Even the P from Porsche 32V on the intake would be fun. I could say I got P on my arm, see.

![]() Sorry to hear about the burns and 928 running troubles. Sounds like your mechanic needs a reality check in regards to doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. Bummer on the plug wires.

it gets worse.
i left the paper towels in the intake. i started it. i got two out, complete. i think a third was removed before assembly (why i didn't remove them all, i have no idea. there was no beer involved.). at least half of the fourth paper towel is down in the cylinder. i am fkd. truly.

i can't imagine that this won't require removing the head. i think it is possible that cylinder four simply sucked the whole thing into the cylinder.
