Doesn’t that depend on your experience level? I took my 99 out for the first time last year. I have extensive motorcycle road racing and dirt track experience but found the car’s limits above mine at...

It would be interesting to see their sourcing. While I love my 99 with 77k miles, I don’t see it selling over about $8k at best. They don’t breach ten thousand on the auction sites I’ve seen, and...

I'm just about finished rebuilding one. While I replaced the rails, I'm not certain it's really a necessity. In both engines I've taken down--and one had significant damage from debris blocking the...

We just returned from your country a few weeks ago. I can imagine how fun driving out in the country would be! Great place.

I’ve torn down two 3.2s, one of 106,000 and one unknown. Both had wear pads about to disintegrate. So at that mileage I would be more concerned about this than the IMSB.

Year? That could make a big difference.
At that mileage, your tensioner wear pads are probably done. Do you have a means to check you cam deviation.
Do you check your filter at oil changes for...

I bought it some years ago and am just now finishing the rebuild. Keep in mind this contains everything but head gaskets so it it far more extensive than you need. You might just call them to order...

You don't need to disconnect the AC lines. If you follow the Pelican DIY, just remove and set the compressor inside the cabin, behind the driver's seat.

LOL!
Mine has taken four so far, through supply issues and a move.
Hope to wrap this month.

Actually not horrible looking as so many I’ve seen. Price seems steep at first, but having paid $700 for one on my 997, it isn’t bad.

Installed bank one camshafts and not trying to set timing. I fear my cheap Chinese cam tool copy is inadequate.

Imagine what that debris would do to your valve timing! No wonder you have valve contact and big wonder it didn't take out more.

Good luck doing that in the car. I’m finding it a bit of work on an engine stand! If you are able, I highly recommend you just drop it out. It’s pretty easy.

Thinking some more about this. On the one I tore down, there was a lot of pad debris in the sump. Have you tried looking at that?
The pieces were big enough they dropped down directly and clogged...

If it hasn't already been done, I guarantee you the adjuster pads are trashed and the chain is stretched. I've had one apart with only 106,000 miles and they were nearly thin enough to break soon.

OP, how are you reading bank 2? My understanding is that it doesn't show in the early cars. I can't see it on my 99 using Durametric.

I hear the same. Funny part is, it’s smoother than my 997 3.8, which doesn’t make that sound!
