My first Porsche (1987 924S) I had just finished rebuilding the engine. it was my first engine rebuild and I didn't understand important things like "speed/ref sensor to flywheel spacing" or "instructions". go to start the car, it turns over....about a half turn, then stops. keep trying to start it, smell burning electronics. engine doesn't budge. after rebuilding the engine, I was tired, confused, frustrated and overall kind of pissed. had the car towed to the dealer. Because of my ignorance, the speed/reference sensor was ripped apart, and jammed between the flywheel and bell housing. $3,000.00 later, and a very important lesson learned.
