head is off and at the machine shop for a port and polish. I had the option, at this time, to go for the Porsche Motorsport cams + ECU tuning that would with the port and polish give approx 50 hp. I don't know if that's accurate, but i decided against the cams. Partly because the car is already at 90K miles, so, the added cost isn't quite justifyable. I rather just put the money towards a new car with the existing added HP. I'm also changing out the water pump and any hard to get places, spark plugs, all belts and even some of the hoses. Maybe even the AOS while the engine is out. Any other ideas? Clutch is fresh so no need there. I'll get more pictures early next week.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.
