I think my engine just took a #$%!!

Thanks Randall, I really appreciate your help and I contacted Sam and will wait for his reply. I actually considered doing a 3.4 engine swap perhaps 1-2 yrs later, but not now. Guess this gives me a reason.

Perfectlap, I did contact Porsche NA and told them all that, and they could care less. I think they deal with this on a daily basis that they let you rant and rave and they just say the same thing, "no goodwill to any porsche out of warranty" and just be quiet. I sent a letter to Porsche NA, but hold out little hope.
