A “speedi-sleeve” can be used to solve a worn flywheel nose (made by SKF) but it’s not an easy fit. Not tried that myself & not sure I would. I’ve had luck in the past with polishing compound but there are limits.
As above, PRS will know.

Re: Classic and Rebuild Vehicles Consultation
Previously, in other public consultations. Each response is considered as “one” response and the fact it represents the opinions of hundreds or thousands is ignored.
So I’d strongly encourage doing it yourself too. Even if you only answer some questions

Re: Classic and Rebuild Vehicles Consultation
There are some big red flags in there. Take the question: “3.22. If you consider it important for a consumer purchasing a vehicle to know if it’s had major restoration work done to it, please provide evidence and reasons to support your views.” The obvious leading answer, is “yes, a purchaser should...

Re: Assessing an unknown engine
Aluminium expands more than steel when hot. You need to heat the head at least 60 degrees around the stud. Hot air gun works well if you are patient.
Or stick them on the BBQ like Alan Millyard does. I wouldn’t even try cold. Heat is applied first.

Re: Quandry / Query - NOT Porsche related ... need abs help
I use a cheap xtool V401 for VAG cars. It can read all the car modules for the full set of fault code. Plus reset inspection light, reset airbag codes & trigger ABS bleeding. However it is not user friendly & i had to mess about doing a firmware update (it has a removable SD card so the firm...

Re: Quandry / Query - NOT Porsche related ... need abs help
Getting a fault code for the sensor I assume? Nothing else ABS related the cause? The ECU can only detect a short or broken wire statically. If the sensor isn’t either of those, then the fault is only detected while the car is moving because the pulsing signal will not be plausible when compared to ...

Re: Flares....
I’d guess the main upside (RSR) is the double shear mounts. A lot stronger than a one sided mount, especially since it holds the full weight & not just the damping forces.

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
Once you get back, some diagnosis using the ECU software & laptop should get to the root cause.
Can the software record a log file?

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
If you can, check each exhaust primary to see if they get equally hot. IR temp gun or even a squirt of water.
Air leak definitely worth checking for.

Each injector is typically under 20 ohms which is low enough to get a “beep”, plus 3 in parallel is 1/3 of the resistance of one.

Sorry, should have added that’s with the 3 injectors disconnected from their plugs on that bank. Each injector is electrically a simple coil.

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
With the ECU plug disconnected, there shouldn’t be continuity between the injector plug pins.
The ECU injector driver probably links the injector signal wire to 12v via a resistor when not firing the injector (a “pull up” resistor) and a semiconductor will sink it to ground when the injector is open.

Re: Assessing an unknown engine
Perhaps you’ll need to drill or cut the piston to get access to the rod bolts, ideally without damaging the rod?

Pin10 is an input so nothing wrong there, alas.
