The Porsche Aero engine turned out not to be as great as touted and Porsche did everything they could to remove them from the market. I believe all of the flying PFM Mooneys have been retro fitted with Cont/Lyc engines... Porsche stopped supporting the engines long ago in an effort to limit liability...
