Oh, you didn't say "fap fap fap" earlier.

That's a completely different thing altogether, isn't it?

You may have a collector weld that didn't quite get into the tiny corners. I'd get that one swapped out with the seller.

We can't have our cars making fapping noises on acceleration! That would drive me nuts.

Im sure everyone will have fun with that. Sadly language these days has turned everything dirty. Thats the only way I can describe it though. Even this is hilarious, when it had normal meaning years ago.

I looked in a dictionary for the original meaning of Boner: a foolish or obvious blunder; stupid mistake.

Oh ya, if anyone needs header wrap, buy it from me. They made me buy a 30 ft package I only used like 3 feet.

This is so wrong on so many levels.

The Porsche factory headers are not cast iron they are steel may in fact be stainless, just not polished, at least the 996 ones are. The last cast Porsche manifold I have seen was on the early 944.

You can do it for not much more than the cost of the motor, if you are able to do the work yourself.
I just finished up a 3.4 swap, so now I can put the X51 motor in my car, and then it will be a swap of the old 3.6 I remove from my car into a new recipient.

Ok, So if I buy a 3.4 can I do it at your place over a weekend? I dont have all the necessary tools. And if I do a swap it will be after january if I can find an engine.
