Oh and keep the 996 you are crazy for thinking of selling it.

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...Dr_Strangelove (whew!) wrote: ↑Tue Jul 26, 2022 10:58 amI'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

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!

Re: Somebody talk me down off the edge...
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.02TX996Cab wrote: ↑Tue Jul 26, 2022 12:54 pm Install the UAOS (maybe even with the accumulator auto-drain enhancement), then drive it like you stole it -- often.

Re: Somebody talk me down off the edge...
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.

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...5chn3ll wrote: ↑Tue Jul 26, 2022 3:40 pm I am happy to swap* my non-smoking factory engine with that smoking mess you have in your 996. Let me know.

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