Thanks Bill and thanks for the offer Jake, but I don't think I will take you up on it in the near future. Like I have expressed before, I have great respect for your achievements and reading your homepage got me into the Boxster in the first place. Like you I find big joy in trying to understand how these things work.
I always dreamed about finding a crank from a m96-3.6 to install together with some strong custom rods for a stroked engine. Noe offence meant, but this gives me the idea to find someone to make a custom stroked well balanced crankshaft that will be much stronger than the Porsche equivalent. But my self-assembled 3.6 engine is still going strong, so I hope it is not coming apart in the near future, as I have some other P-car related money gulping projects going at the moment.
