Nice work buddy
Was just reading your story about the collet falling down into one of the cylinders
I recently had a similar scare. Just had my 997 engine rebuilt to 4.1L by Hartech in England. I was putting it all back together and accidentally dropped an allen bolt from one of the tensioners into the connection for the oil fill tube. Heard the bolt fall deep into the engine and could have cried Stuck a borescope down and right at the very bottom of the motor I could see it and luckily get a telescopic magnet down at it to fish it out. Pure lucky, I was convinced that it would have got knocked into some impossible to reach crevice and have to be stripped again! Like yourself, lessons learned the hard way
Fantastic car by the way, absolutely love it
