Help needed: Boxter fails to restart after rebuild / windows no longer work

The quick check is pull the cam end seals out of both heads @ cylinder 1 and 6. Then Pin on the TDC hole. Check for the heavy side of the cam at the notch. On the one set both the thicker sides should be toward the head. On the other set both the heavy side should be away from the head. Both sets the slot should allign with each other. At 0 that also means they should be in line with seam between the head and the valve cover.

That's the next step. Good thing I do this for a hobby and not for a living or I'd starve.

I have one set of cams out 180 degrees

I could have told ya that last night… I just wanted you to ID the issue and find it yourself.

The sound of the engine on the starter is all it took for me.

Don't feel bad.. This is the mistake that Porsche dealership technicians seem to make over and over again. They call me out of the blue needing help just like some guy out of the blue, but caller ID says they are at a dealership :-)

I usually won't bail them out with a 350 dollar consultation charge :-)

My feelings exactly -- Glad I have a day job!

I can wrench if I have to -- but I prefer to drive than wrench -- but I get great pride in knowing that I'm racing what I wrenched on.
