define low mileage. i have yet to hear of an owner of a '98 / '99 car with a sleeved block that failed and was NOT replaced IF it had under about 30k miles. if these engines failed, they tended to fail very early in their life cycles. if they made it past 30k, they generally never slipped a sleeve (apparently there was a 'good' tool and a 'bad' tool; if you got the good one, your sleeves didn't slip).
there MAY be some owners who got left out in the cold by this; i don't personally know of any. the assertion that porsche replaced these motors comes from an article i read awhile back from an independant warranty company that was researching M96 failures. i'll try to find the article.
