The case hardening on the followers is the weak link, so fails first. Once that’s gone, continued use takes out the cam lobes. It sounds like you caught it early. I forgotten where the design flaw lies in the oil pump, but oil starvation to the head is usually due to the pump or heavy track use...

Schrick sell followers with more robust case hardening than OEM. If your cams survived the worn followers, the cheapest fix is to replace just the followers. If your thinking Schrick cams too, the high lift cams give you more power at high rpm in exchange for a drop in torque earlier in the rev...

He hasn’t been active for about three years on the MX5 forum where I found his username.

Which was a month after his last day here. That might suggest an intended withdrawal from the forum.

I’d love an E30, preferably an “is” model that has had an S54 engine swap. They come up for sale periodically here and I’m always tempted. Was the second picture taken at the Bicester Heritage site?

Shame about your Zed, but I rather like that generation of 6-series. I’ve been tempted by an M6 Gran Coupe several times, but they are very big cars and it would be a pain to park anywhere.

HMP Lincoln? Presumably there to pick up Jeffrey Archer…

Send them a picture of the back of Pondy’s Fauxrrari and I’m sure they’ll let you in 😁

And recently departed after a couple of decades of ownership:

No new additions here, but these are my / our other toys:

That also sounds quite mad to me!:poke:

You have a good ear! I have Remus back boxes on mine, and they really accentuate the metallic scream of the S54 at high rpm. As far as I know, AC Schnitzer back boxes were made by Remus and sound the same (although they look different). Both are long discontinued, but you might be lucky find...

And a rocking chair and a bag of Werther’s Originals. Now, where did I leave my pension book…..?

Surely, the most appropriate Porsche would be a Taycan since they’ve perfected the sound!

My mate had a series of Crappys, hence needing more than one! He had his well over a decade after you had yours, so you can imagine what condition they were in…
