Anyone in Michigan with OB CIS knowledge?

Steve,
I'll try to get a video of the noise and general composure of the car. I don't want to try and crank it over again without finding out the cause of the issue...aluminum block without sleeves with that noise, no thanks...although I do have an lt1 that I could throw in it and know that it would run...or NOT...I love the sound of that engine when it runs right. I just changed the oil, but I'm going to drain and remove the pan to see the bottom side. Is it possible to get the pan out without pulling the motor and without too much grief? I'm also going to boroscope the cyls through the spark plug holes.

Thanks,
Josh

Got back out tonight, all plugs are new and in. The entire intake is all back together, all vacuum lines are new now. Tried cranking it over to check for spark...again hard to do when you're by yourself. Video at this point is a no go as well, need 2 people at this point to get anything worthwhile for anyone to help. The infamous "noise" is still present...I was thinking, could it be possible that it would be caused by the cold weather, or based off of the location that I think it's coming from in the lower end of the engine, could be the starter not disengaging or the tt coupler...either way not good juju at this point. I did find out today that there is a gentleman that is not too far away from my house, approx 10 min that has some experience in 928's and with CIS...I may take the car over to his shop in the morning if I can't figure anything else out tonight, or I may just have to bite the bullet and wait until it gets warmer.

Thanks,
Josh

Maybe he will agree to stop by and take a listen and maybe he has a flatdeck to haul it with.

I never would've come up with that flywheel consideration...even if it was off-base given the application!
If he set up or maintains those throttle bodies, then you're on to somebody with depth of knowledge. Hopefully he'll be up for banking some good karma and give you a hand gratis.
Sorry to hear of the flywheel trevails. I'm looking forward to hearing the outcome here, wish I'd been able to be more help thus far!

I HAVE A NEW FLYWHEEL!!!!! Should I use the entire thing, or just the ring gear? I also took my starter out, tore down and rebuilt, cleaned and some fresh paint for looks. Parts gratis are always great. The guy near me had it, both the cars at his place are 5 spd...nephew's car is an 80 euro, non S...guessing it then should be almost exactly like my car.

Thanks,
Josh

Pictures to come in a bit...I need to figure out how to "dumbdown" my pictures...everytime I try to get one uploaded it tells me that they are too big.

Thanks,

I suspect we will have mobile device users on here soon, if not already, that will be a bandwidth trial as well.

That would be me...taken with a phone sent to the net...even the smallest resolution picture I take is too big pixel wise to upload, I think the memory size is about adequate though....maybe I can set up a photobucket and just go that way with a link...

Thanks,
