And what is with the chain?
Does that live inside the engine all the time or is a build thing?

🥲Some engines are designed right from the beginning with performance as a priority. (see pic above)
Some are designed to cost as little $$$ to produce. (Look in your driveway)
The thing they have in common are they are able to be driven flat out all day and get you home.

that drive the cams on the head. the shaft to which they are connected to is not a cam but the IMS. That thing with the green o rings is a 2 stage dry pump by the looks of it.

I was like what kind of engine cost that much?

then I looked, Carrera quad cam, of course. They cost a min of 100k for a rebuild original. So yeah thats not so ridiculous given what they go for.

but still, deep pocket people only.

I remember reading somewhere about plug changes on these motors. Apparently you needed an "asbestos octopus" or you just pulled the whole motor out.... 🤪

I'll be keeping my stocker for now I reckon. 😉

Plugs would take ten minute's and are visable in the view of the engine in the car, the valve adjustment is the same as a 911 with adjusting screws using a 13 mm spanner and a special feeler gauge.

You certainly wouldn't buy it for the HP! $ per HP could go a VERY long way at half that budget. Just saw they wanted $19,000 for a crankshaft! and $2200 for a distributor... wow!

Parts wise, must be the worlds best paid fitters and turners.

Nothing to do with highly paid fitters and turners, limited production, exclusivity and quite a few people who would not think twice about it.
