I'm going to have a cashier's check for $38,500 (because we are friends) and I'm going to offer it to you when you come see Adele :P
Even as you are a good friend that's not nearly enough and this is a high mileage example compared to mine!😜 On the other hand it might not be a track rat as is mine...

:lol:

Good luck with the AOS. You've got a Raby engine - with the UAOS you're good to go my friend.

Install the UAOS (maybe even with the accumulator auto-drain enhancement), then drive it like you stole it -- often.

Note to self: follow the above advice!

I didn't figure on going with the auto drain for three reasons. #1: I don't track the car #2: It is not a high mileage engine #3: Looks real easy to drain at every oil change, but I might talk to Skip about it. Besides not real comfortable with drilling a hole in the oil fill tube.

I am happy to swap* my non-smoking factory engine with that smoking mess you have in your 996. Let me know.

*You'll have to take care of the freight, of course...

Seriously, though - the AOS isn't a huge deal...certainly not one that warrants dumping the 996.

But I'll give you $10K for it. CASH MONEYS.

I am conflicted between giving you decent advice and trying to swindle you out of your car.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

Swindle. Definitely swindle.

Speaking of, I'll do $10,000.01!

Hey! Who said it is still smoking?! Just ignore the faint high pitched whine of air squeezing by the crankshaft seal and you would never know...

Is this how one feels while observing a listing on BAT?
