won't start it up again but will start stripping it down to send off...time to give it a new lease of life!
glad I wasn't miles from home or stuck on a motorway so definitely dodged a bullet there as you say Stoo.c.
I do take some pleasure knowing it wasn't the IMS uh:

I still have a perfectly good spare Intermediate Shaft - thats just about the one bit that didnt get totally destroyed :grin:
Took me a while to find another decent 3.6 but did the work myself and so the cost could have been far worse.

I'm glad you're seeing the positive and you're looking forward to the adventure of stripping it all down though....
3.9 conversion??? :thumbs:
bazhart said:Mind you the standard rebuilds are still running very well as stated by a customer only yesterday who asked for some of the new "Powered by Hartech" decals and I quote "I was wondering if I could have a pair of "Powered by Hartech" stickers for my 911? Your company did a complete engine rebuild on my car in 2013 and it's still performing faultlessly with almost zero oil usage 30,000 miles later".

Whilst I am annoyed I've not got the use of the car at the moment, I'm nowhere near as irritated as I thought I'd be...I'm trying to find any positivity in this and I think that's why.
Sort of looking forward to working on it myself, dropping the engine and stripping it! All a new learning experience and gained skills! If it needs it, I'll get hartech to rebuild it but i want to get my hands dirty as much as I can
