I hope you continue to improve re the concussion and its aftermath. I just went through a 3.2 rebuild on my 2003 S and had the displacement increased to 3.6 liters with LN Nickies and JE pistons. It was a six month turnaround at LN - they need to do their machining and installation of the new cylinders, then the real wait starts as the block goes to their plater for plating of the cylinders. My local independent Porsche specialist who have rebuilt several M96/97 engines. I've just finished putting 1,500 break-in miles on the rebuilt engine and I'm very happy with it. It probably cost me 2x what the car is worth for the rebuild. If I had chosen not to go with the Nickies I could have also avoided the custom Softronic tune and Fabspeed sport headers with catalysts. Eliminating those three items would have saved a big chunk of money.
