    I am ready to begin the rebuild. I'm not going to let Procrastination set in. I'm going to Hop2It and am sure that without a Shadow of a Doubt the new motor will be a Salvation.

    Ciao

    Might I suggest you start with Vinnies row 2 hop infested IPA then progress to the Pliny. I will be a smoother palate transition

    Say it ain't so! Then again...30 years on a high-performance 911 engine (and I remember that engine's pull) is something most of us can only hope for with our air-cooled flat sixes. Do you have any idea how many miles you logged on the engine?

    Can I borrow the muffler while it's down? I'll care for it and clean it as well.

    Jim, just saw your mishap! Sorry for you, indeed!

    The same happened to my 2.5 twin plug at roughly 80 miles on the Autobahn, when a Carillo rod quit its service. The engine case was holed and all internals smashed.

    Now I run a wonderful 2.8 twin plug on 46 Webers. Love it, even though the scream of the little 2.5 was magic!
    Keep up the speed!

    What caused the Carillo to break?? Was it a genuine?

    We never found out what caused the rod fracture. It was a genuine Carrillo rod and neither Carrillo nor their Austrian parent company Pankl was interested in investigating...

    Today I run classic RSR rods...
    Keep up the speed!

    Hi Jim,

    Has the Captain been cut out of the will?

    I hope that all is otherwise well with you and the family,

    Nah, Jim wouldn't do that! The Capt might have to pull a few shifts at the yard when he's not in the left seat though! �� will be interesting to see what you build Jim.

    No, it just happened on his watch. I don't think he had anything to do with it's demise, even though, his sister said, and I quote "Man, Rich is really good at breaking things"

    Ciao

    Jim
    PS: The family is doing great. Thanks for asking.
