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....

number 4

pistons look good....small amount of scoring inside the cylinder walls

everything looked good here
