Burn was minimal, don't even think it damaged much at all. Car had 32000 miles, 2.5 engine oil changed at every 3000, in short Porsche should be red faced, if it happened to my Ford I'd be equally pissed. In reflection, I should have kept the 944, could have put a ton in it and come out on top.

Since I can't shift it's moot anyhow, it would help to know if a way to change the ims in the 2.5 without opening the entire case has been developed. Given the cost of a used engine or rebuild the car should be parted out but as I said my cousin deserves it if I can make it happen somehow...
