Denis K --

Awsome engine build thread. Thanks for posting.

If I could impose on you and ask some questions about your sources/suppliers:

Crankshaft drilled by Taylor Machine
- Who should I contact to get this done? Can Taylor Machine also apply DLC to journals?

New main bearings w/ >180º grooved center main
New rod bearings
- Are these Glyco bimetal bearings? Do you know how to get trimetal bearings for Porsche, I haven't found any? Where did you get the bearings grooved? Did you have dry film lubricant coating applied?

I-J crank scraper kit & windage tray
- What's the best place to buy this kit with an acceptable delivery time?

Mike Simard's oil pickup & pan spacers
- Where can I get these? Studs from the same source?

New lightweight VW INA lifters, tensioner pads & IWIS chains
- What's the exact part number for lifters? Working out so far? Best deal on these from where?

Many thanks in advance.

Best, Tuomo
