Default porsche update....

the 951 was running a bit rough at vir after the second day....thought it was the plugs, changed them and nothing changed....so when we got back to chicago doug changed the injectors....still ran rough....then a compression check revealed no compression in cylinder 1 so yesterday doug opened the engine up....

Did you find out what broke and caused that?

I hope there isnt any damage inside the crank. I can't really tell in the pictures.

Geez, you got it that far apart, might as well throw a few gofast parts at it.
