Thanks for the clarification and reassurance, guys.

I've read a bit more on it at PCA.org...but there's a bunch of info to look at.

I guess by 'bad engine' it is meant that it won't hold allow an RMS to seal, due to the crank not being aligned, and not that it locks up/ stops running.

I also infer from some sites that Porsche replaces (Replaced) engines under warranty, and they are shipped back without being opened... making an aftermarket type solution difficult or impossible, at least this early in the game.

That is, if there is a solution.

BTW I have a Nissan vg30et in an early rx-7, and they use one of those 'crank cradles'... supposed to be super strong.

I've read where the stock vg block was used in those red white and blue Nissan GTP cars from years ago, to 700HP.

Thanks again,

James
