Project 968 Lives Again – Video Update

The Porsche 968 lives again after not running for almost 2 years!

After putting in 31 hours of work in the last week I have finally got the 968 running. This is a big milestone bringing me closer to Rennsport 2018. The first couple seconds of running was painful as the dry lifters were making a horrible sound of imminent failure. Luckily it quickly went away and the engine sounded smoother with every second of running. The second part of video is of the engine running after about 5 minutes. It sounds a lot better but it has a distinct whine, which is either an over tight balance shaft belt or the alternator breaking in.

I started the car up the next day, not shown in video, and it sound significantly better. Its all moving in the right direction.
