hang on? what this engine?
911 engine with 2 cylinders chopped off?
wow wtf!
And what is with the chain?
Does that live inside the engine all the time or is a build thing?
Wtf! Very cool

^^^ something else if you've got the dosh! 
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.
The saying, "can't make a silk purse out of a pigs ear" is beginning to make perfect sense!

Wow, I had a look at their 718 5 speed gearbox. $40,000 Euro plus VAT, packing and shipping!!!!!!

I like the locating pins in the main saddles.
Only $30.000 for the basic engine, up to 2.8Ltr can be built, ready to turbo.
sounds bout right, thats what an engine like that would go for.
Thanks for the answers on the chains fella's.

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.

So how do you set your valves on one of them motors??
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.

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