We have seen several people do what you are about to attempt; to date, very very few have ever been successful, with most suffering failure in only a relatively few miles after retrofitting. Its your car and your money, so proceed however you please, just be conscious of the risks (financial and time) you are entertaining.
Good luck. |
OK, Thanks. I'm sure you've forgotten way more about this issue, and porsches in general, then I'll ever know. And that's fine, because i really just want to drive the car. That being said, the engine has been going for 54k miles thus far. I would be very surprised if it suddenly blew up, just because i improved the bearing and installed a magnetic drain plug, no bypass fliter, and magnetic filter screen. But thank you for pointing out the risks, because of it, i changed the oil, and ordered afore mentioned parts from LN. Only time will tell what happens, but i intend to drive it and not worry. On balance, this works for me. Thank you for taking the time to advice me on this issue. Chris.
