The fact is, he has an extreme amount of knowledge on the M96 and I just can't believe that all is bad with the engine. Porsche has shipped 100's of thousands of them in various forms and they all will self destruct?

I am just asking a question that I guess too many are afraid to ask.

He is an expert, but IMHO, he almost always see's the glass as half empty and focuses on fear and and destruction. Lets fact facts, he does profit from repairing and building motors. I'm not saying that is a bad thing nor is he not entitled to profit from his knowledge and research. Very much the contrary.
I agree...EVERYONE of these engines will not crater. I thought I heard numbers like 1%, to 5%? depending upon the year and engine...as an engineer...I love finding the REAL relationship of data associated with engine failure...I have the utmost respect for Jake. So, I'm not pissing with him...I'd love to know for real the results of a root cause analysis.
