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.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

OK now that we know how it's put together, how does it breakin. What wears for breakin - the rings or the block. Cast iron engines chambers wear; in Nikosil engines the block can't wear to fit (can it?). Nickel is harder than steel so I assume the rings wear. Correct assumption?

Fred, That's the link I was looking for. I knew it was on Porsche site somewhere, thank you! Rob

The story I heard, and it may be apocryphal, was that in the old days, each Porsche assembly guy had a tall shelf full of various parts, which he then hand-fitted by trial and error, did some filing etc until everything fit. Then they hired some Japanese experts to get costs down in order to build the Boxster. The first thing they did was come in with a circular saw and cut each guys shelf down to waist height, and then announced that from hereon they would just build the parts correctly to begin with. Don't know if it's true, and don't remember where I heard it...

POST 8Original post

maybe the new shelf was full height for the new employees?

POST 9Original post

ouch.... it is not like the old days (or at Aston martin now for some models) the Race motors (cup, etc.) were "blue printed" the normal cars motors were not btw, even in the old days
