just got more scoop from one of the mechanics (not the mechanic working on the car)
Apparently the motor on the shrink wrapped skid was rebuilt ,and yes it definately was the IMSbearing that caused or lead to the blown motor,was wrong on the cost to rebuild,it was $10000 and was apparently done in the US (not canada) The owner does track the car and basically runs the living **************** out off it on a regular basis.Sounds like Jake nailed it with the tracked cars with larger IMSB having premature bearing failure.Daily drivers seem to be holding up better which mine is and will always be as long as i own it.The mechanic that is doing the install is apparently a Porsche nut from Ottawa and has worked on many.The install will be completed tomorrow,i may pop by and have a boo.
I am fascinated with this kind off stuff and up till now have only read about thease issues so seeing and speaking to the guy that experienced the issue may give me some insight as to the possible cause,although Jake with his extreme knowledge already pretty much confirmed everything.I want to find out oil type ,viscosity,mileage changes,motor size,ect.
and curious who did the rebuild.
