Today on Adam LZ, we witness the heart-stopping moment when the Porsche engine roars back to life with the new Big Boy cams, thanks to the skilled assistance of Porsche expert Kevin. With a complete refresh using parts from eBay Motors, the team dives into the intricate process of resealing and enhancing the engine beyond its stock capabilities. After meticulously attending to every detail and conducting thorough tests, including smoke testing for leaks, the stage is set for the engine's triumphant return to the Porsche.

The team faces the challenge of installing the pressure plate, resorting to a unique circlip balancing technique, showcasing their expertise and determination in the face of obstacles. As they delve into the world of engine mounts, a tunable kit offers a range of bushing options for customization, reflecting a desire for a smooth ride experience. The meticulous attention to detail and thoughtful selection of components highlight a commitment to excellence and performance in every aspect of the project.

Amidst the intricate process of oil line hookups and battery relay adjustments, the moment of truth arrives as the team embarks on the first engine start. A minor setback with the distributor misalignment proves to be a simple fix, underscoring the team's perseverance and problem-solving skills. With the engine roaring to life, the culmination of hard work, expertise, and passion is evident in the successful revival of the Porsche, a testament to the dedication and skill of the Adam LZ team.
