It is at times like this that paying with a credit card may help.
Don't know how people can do stuff like that and not worry it will come back to haunt them. I really get a kick when I have rebuilt an engine, luckily I have access to some very friendly engineering places that do the bits I can't. But putting things together isn't that hard.

A bit of tweaking, that would be hot. The Panamera needs to go the way of the eponymous airline. It's bloody diabolical to look at. They totally should recycle the 928. I saw a dark blue 928 GTS recently and they still look great.
I am full of Car woe. I think the engine is going to have to come out of the Fury - I've just found too many things wrong with it. The engine builder is being a complete bell end - there absolutely must have been problems with it even before they sent it to me. I found variation of 3 full turns on the rocker adjusters on the intake side of the same rocker shaft. Similar for the exhausts. The hardened tips are totally hammered and have bollixed up the valve tip rollers. They're about 1000 fucking dollars for a new set too.
Totally amateur hour machine work on the pistons too. They've had domes removed to bring down the compression but look like they've been finished on a rough belt sander. The sharp edges around the valve pockets have not been relieved at all either.
Total shit - I'm getting ready to internet shame them.
