Have you spent ANY time under this engine? Can you get a shot/pic for me? I need to see if it has the cosmoline on it, or it has the later oil pan.

Yup I have lots of time under the car since I did all the work myself on it. Its got the original engine, I verified the engine serial numbers with Porsche and they match up. It wont be till next week for me to get pictures of the under carriage of the car since I have alot of work in the shop right now.

Ill perform a cylindar compression test when i have it up on the lift and post the results here. Since the engine runs smooth even with a solid engine mount im sure the results will be good. Ill post the pic and results on wednesday afternoon.
