DMFW on its way out

No other end, it's a debris failure rather than a lack of lubrication failure - a big of hard material from a cam chain tensioner has made it past the oil pickup screen and ended up embedded in the bearing. Just one of those things unfortunately, it could have gone another 100K Kms or so before the bore ovality was bad enough to cause high oil consumption or a failure of the liner.
Ahh 10-4
That's a shame, was this as a result of the chains basically wearing the chain tensioner pad away?
Would you know the ring gaps that the replacement engine is being built to? I'm particularly interested in what Autofarm are going to set these at as I'm building something similar (though using the 3.6 which has the longer throw crank).
Really like the Cayenne front caliper convserion, and something I'm now considering :thumb:
