Well,

after a busy Saturday the engine is out and mostly stripped back, but again I only had 1 day and ran out of time.

I clocked the crank and its showing 0.45mm of runout at the flywheel end which is a fair whack more than the Porsche tolerance of 0.04mm !!!

It appears that indeed I have somehow got a bent crankshaft ! its not broken but is definately bent.

Its also not the bearings causing the runout as theres not metallic residue in the oil etc either.

It does sound impossible to have bent such a tough piece of steel but the proof is now here that it can be done !

I have a new crankshaft and cradle on my watch list on eBay so hopefully will have her running sweet again very soon
