For the first time in over 36 years of Porsche ownership, I have finally had an engine failure. Upon trying to start my 01 a few mornings ago, it turned about 2 or 3 times normally then spun free. At first I thought it was the starter drive, but upon observing the front pulley turn when bumping the starter, the timing must have slipped. Glad it happened in my garage and not on our recent 2400 trip! Absolutely no indication before it happened,even a recent oil analysis and a good look at the oil filter showed nothing.
My plan is to tear it down and see if I can fix it, if not time for a 3.8!!!
Very interested in teardown, repair, and reassembly instructions.
