Yikes...3 months into owning a Vintage Porsche.
So I parted it out and bought a terminator that has been perpetually ****ing broke.

Interesting, I picked up a 306 short block w/ cast pistons for $150 many years ago, and when I had the machine shop checking P-to-V clearances with my cam, one of the skirts fell off in that same place. They went back and checked the other pistons, and found 5 more with hairline fractures in the same place. That's the whole reason I went with forged pistons on reassembly.Mine is nothing compared to some of these but still necessitated a full rebuild.
They were forged ross pistons that were in the motor for probably 10 years and 35k miles. 7 of the 8 pistons had cracks forming in the same place this let go.
I was able to reused the crank, rods, block and could have reused the heads but I swapped in c heads while it was out.
Little methanol mishap from a few years ago!

Yes I was. Never able to 100% confirm it but I suspect that I had a momentary hiccup with the pump or some other delivery issue, which caused an instant lean/heat situation.What happened?? Were you tuned for meth?
