I just watched your 6 videos and really enjoyed them. Your perseverance and enthusiasm are contagious. Regarding the 2nd video on engine oil change, don’t forget that it’s a dry sump, so the oil level should be checked with the engine running and warm, not when it’s off. Otherwise you will have a significant overfill.
I feel the elation with you, sounded wonderful! Bloody well done, was going to suggest with the crank sensor, you could have somehow taped/fixed your vernier callipers in reverse with the depth gauge rail out with the sensor touching the crank, then backed off exactly 0.8mm and then tightened the bracket. However you got over the problem……….. YEP very definitely my favourite TH-cam “have a go hero” great stuff, really look forward to the next episode! Steve from Norfolk👍
Excellent really pleased you got it running just found your channel and working my way through your 911 videos great content and well done with channel, I also have an 85 carrera great car, keep the videos coming 👍

That's great to hear, thank you for watching,. That's a great tip and I'll do that as I haven't checked the oil level yet.

Sounded spot on when it started, a thing of beauty they are when running nice. Well done at keeping at it, it’s so easy to just take it to a garage.
Yes, sounds mega, but higher revs it’s not great. Thanks for the encouragement and thanks for watching.
Fired up beautifully
Got there in the end

Great, thanks for the positivity and thanks for watching.
it looks like someone actually swapped the cables you had it marked so it should start, the problem was with wrong plugged cables from the sensors
I think I cocked up the labelling, sometimes I confuse myself! Thanks for watching
No smoke.....
Yes, thats a positive. Thanks for watching
