Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
Close, but that’s a Rolls
And an electric one at that.
We do have one on the fleet and it’s most impressive even if it’s a BMW i7 underneath

Re: Assessing an unknown engine
Wow! Big day

Re: Assessing an unknown engine
If you can get a set of three pistons off and then release half of the crankcase you can maybe get to whatever is jamming it, or to the other rod bolts and then it should come apart. Just put the engine stand connection on the side with the stuck pistons pointing towards the floor and leave the cran...

That’s a real shame.
Good to narrow it down but a bummer when it turns out to be the complicated expensive bit.
