Which 997.1 3.8?

daz parker said:
Funny story! That's the actual one I was going to compare against.

I was surprised to see all six barrels had been done.

It's only 101 miles away.

If I only didn't have to work I'd be straight there!

That does look like a bargain! £10k engine rebuild only 6k miles ago!

Pull a sickie and go look at it tomorrow! :thumb:
 
What's going on with the exhaust? It has the PSE button but the wrong tailpipes?

Either way I'll be surprised if that's still available this time tomorrow.

:floor: :floor: :floor: Finne its all those long days and short nights you guys have. but yes I drive my tip only on the rockers so I stay in the right gear for the speed inc pulling away in 1st and not the default auto 2nd gear and reduce the strain on the engine , I also like driving like that as its like a manual for lazy guys :floor: :thumb: :grin:

I must admit - I had to think about it when I wrote it.
 
That's been on AT for around 3 weeks now, it's an SCS rebuild, using Hartech liners. There's also a black one in Essex that's had the rebuild at Hartech that has been listed for 5 or 6 weeks that's now a grand less.

Did this go, the link not working? I was at the airport on a Sunday morning waiting to board a flight when I saw the right turbo, I'd been looking for months for a GEN 1.5 I rang and put a deposit down. First job when I got back was drive and get it, that holiday couldn't finish quick enough 😂😂

If it's right don't hang about!!

The garage that did the work (engine removal, etc.), they then sent the engine for the boring out, new liners fitted, etc. to Hartech.

So Hartech did the actual engine work then :thumb:
Must say, sounds like a great car

Not sure how the car engine was removed in Honiton but the owner lives in Stoke Upon Trent unless he has moved or bought the car after the engine was rebuilt.

Hartech only fitted the liners, SCS did the strip down and rebuild.
 
Looking at the invoice on the listing - some of it, but how much I don't know.

The important bit is all the original pistons and liners have been replaced and now the engine's a closed decker, as well as plenty of other stuff replaced or upgraded.

I'd have that any day over a Gen II DFI.
 
My 2penneth to the OP, I wouldn`t touch a 3.8S unless the engine had been COMPLETELY rebuilt and futureproofed ( as far as they can ) by Hartech :thumb:

I have never personally met a 997.1 3.8S owner who hasn`t had the engine rebuilt or replaced, so that is a 100% failure rate as far as I am concerned :grin:

I believe Hartech have a 997.2 DFI engine in for a rebuild/ re-engineering due to bore scoring as a we speak :dont know:

Like I said, my 2penneth :thumbs:
