Years ago (!) as well, I replaced a valve and a cam belt on a friend's Porsche 944...belt broke, bent valve, uh oh. I recall it was a little bit complex but fun; probably more fun to tear into a Porsche that's not yours!
. I think the twin cam 944 engine was Porsche's first "good" liquid-cooled four.
Absolutely awesome video, brings back memories.
I was very fortunate years ago to run with a couple of friends, a 30' mini game boat from Townsville in Nth Qld to New Georgia Island in the Solomon Islands, then spend about 2 weeks fishing some of this beautiful place.
We refuelled at Misima Island in PNG, cleared customs into the Solomons at Ghizo then ran up past Rendova to New Georgia Island where the boat owner was working. During the refit before we left, we managed to expand the fuel tanks to store about 1500ltrs under the deck then stood 3 drums on the back to make the distance to Misima.
It was an experience I'll never forget.

That's like 2,000 KM of open ocean!
Yeah it is, but we prep'd for months watching weather and timed it pretty good, had good HF comms set up and were reporting in daily.
Weather bringing the boat back 18months later was a different story but, didn't even need to refuel, surfed most of the way from PNG into Cairns. Was the wrong time of year but a great boat and very seaworthy.
31' aluminium Striker and the Detroit 471TA bird scarer was as stable and reliable as. Fished from that boat a few times after that out of Rockhampton around Samurez, Fredericks and Cato reefs. Used to run for about 7 day trips all recreational sport fishing.
Were great times with good mates

Went looking for this Friday, last saw it 20+ years ago. On a neighbor's property we had to enlist his help to find it again.
At least 150 years old, The stone appears to be dry stacked, no mortar, who knows what it is? ;^)

I'm going to take a wild-ass guess and say a lime kiln.
I'd thought of that before I read the captions, anyway.

Lots of 'em around these parts, there's even a "Lime Kiln Rd." not too far away.
Oops! fixed it.
Maybe she'll let you have that classic chevy now...
Where can I buy this!?!?
You have a printer, put your big V8 in it!
Took me a second.
I'm not printing a whole motor. The headers are for something.... else. To be revealed hopefully tomorrow or Sunday.
Want see some hot valve action?

What's really fun is to watch valve bounce.
