| Comments: | I was wondering if your chain tensioner failure was caused by your timing belt failure and rebuilt engine or low oil pressure? My 1986 5speed 32 valve first timing belt and water pump was replaced @ 110000 miles and the second time both with the tensioner pulley was replace @ 155000 miles. My car has 180000 miles on it with no chain tensioner problem. This is a common problem on 944 engines. |

| Comments: | I have just completed a rebuild of my 1985 928S Euro. Tried putting it back into the car with no success. When you replaced your engine did you replace it with the upper bell housing attached to the engine or...? |

| Comments: | I am currently doing a rebuild on a 1985 Porsche 928S (European version). So far it is fairly routine with not too many unforseen obstacles. I did have one glitch removing the engine I forgot to completely free up the wiring that runs from the starter motor to the engine and main connector on the right side of the engine compartment. The fun began when I tried to stretch the harness as I raised the engine. Had to free up the harness from the top down.
The rebuild is due to a Tensioner Roller failure and subsequent bent valves. |

| Comments: | Big Dave,
I just visted your site from the link you have on your Rennlist posts. Very impressive! I enjoyed the engine rebuild pictures and storyline. I wish I had done such a fine job as you did documenting everything for others to learn from - you have set an example for me. Perhaps I can do something similar on my next rebuild. I really like your site. Beautiful car!! Dwayne |

| Comments: | Hey Dave,
I saw the good news on Rennlist about the new overhauled engine. Congratulations, way to go!!! Any new pics of the project for your website? One of these days I'm going to move somewhere where I am able to have a 928, hopefully something like yours. All the best, Rich |

You are writing about a 928 Weissach edition Porsche in the Detroit Suburbs. We own one of these cars too and are interested to come in contact with the owner. Can you help us finding him? Best regards, Rudy |

| Comments: | Dave,
Great website, and an even better car. I often come hear to look (and listen!) I have decided that I want an 86.5 black/black, just like yours. When that time comes, I'd like to spend some time on the phone with you learning about your project. Again, what an awesome car. You have a lot to be proud of. All the best, Rich |

| Comments: | Sir:
I have read your responses to tech. problems on pelican forum. I have enjoyed my 85S for five years with little to no problems until now. I have relocated to a rural area with no Porsche service center and I have no manuals. Please help a fellow 928 enthusiast! My car starts great cold, but will try to stall if I try to drive it before temp comes up off the bottom mark. Once warm, it runs the way it should. Never any misses or funny idle issues, EVER. Once I reach operating temp and turn the car off, like at the Gas station, it is almost impossible to restart; it takes at least five seconds of turning over. It reminds me of a flooding issue I once had with an old Corvette. I suspect the temp II sensor but do not know where to find it on my engine. Furthermore, I do not know what a new PART will cost. I feel confident I can install it myself, but lack the experience that you have. Feel free to email or call at 928-428-4788 (AZ timezone). Thanks for your time and cooperation. |

| Comments: | Enjoyed playing poker with you online last night. Don't know what was up with my website. They must have been having some problems with the whole site over there. It's working now, though. I have a cool picture of a Ferrari a few days back. Actually I have several pictures of it next to the Four Winds aircraft my hubby helps build. He builds composite aircraft such as Lancair and other experimental aircraft. We are considering restoring the Demon to all fiberglass to make it lighter. Anyhow, nice meeting you and I like your car. |

| Comments: | Hi Dave:
I purchased an 85" 928S about 3 months ago. I can't be more pleased with the car. I would like to improve the performance and read the changes you made. I have no idea what a "Louis Otto "X" cross-over cat bypass" is? Can you inform me about this, and where to purchase it. I am not mechanically minded, but with this car, I am learning. Thanks. |

Love your website. I'm in the market for the coveted Porsche 928. I think I'd like stick with something between the years of 1988 and 1991. What would you recommend? And what should I be especially cautious about? Thanks, Victor Ross |

| Comments: | You provided a great website- congratulations! Being a Porsche lover since my childhood days, I dearly love my
blue 928S4. She easily competes on Germany´s Autobahns from spring to autumn with all these "modern sportscars" and mostly takes them for a ride. Although there are only 4400 still registerred 928´s in Germany, the owners and clubs proudly present them on many occassions. Hope to see one of you guys on one of our national or Euro- pean 928 Club meetings or why not join our armada at this year´s "Le Mans Classic" at Le Mans circuit,France in July. Be there! Porsche-there is no substitute (Porsche Club NZ) Best regards Chris |

| Comments: | Nice car. Is it an 85-86? I have an 86 with 75K. Was awondering if the only exhaust mod was the cat bypass? It sounds really good if that is your stock mufflers ot the rear. My completely stock system sounds good at idle, but weak at accelleration. Anyways, nice page! Email me about the exhaust if you would. |

| Comments: | Nice website and fantastic pics of an incredible automobile. I own a 86.5 32V 928S myself. Very similar to yours.
Mine is also black, at, with the linen seats and cashmere carpets. Mine still has the stock exhausts, but I am interested in learning more about the "Ott X over". Sounds like a nice improvement. Driving these sharks is really a blast, especially when you get the chance to jump on it hard and go. Take care. |
