For some reason I decided to go against the grain and buy this 01 Disco. I know nothing at all about them other than it felt like a tough lil shit and I'm a glutton for pain. (911 owner) I do all my own wrenchin and I have a quick question for y'all. When the motor is cold, 4.0L, it sounds a little deisely. When warm it purrs like a kitten. It is a very minute noise, but I know motors and I know it could get very un-minute as soon as the warranty is out. Any opinions?

Congrats! Hard to say on the noise. These things aren't immune to strange noise and if it's cold that's another issue. Take a look at the valve job thread too (not that I think that's the issue)

Welcome to the club!! As a fellow 911 engine owner (actually 914-6 w/'77 911S 2.7 engine) it's nice to know that others are out there (misery loves company). :)

What year 911?
