Husker, you need to get that pumpkin out of the snow!

Contact a good local shop or contact LN Engineering for dealers in your area that have been trained on this.

Will licensed Porsche dealers be able to do this ims replacement?

Dealers would rather sell you a re-man engine; their techs are not trained to do this type of work.........

Plus this isn't a "Porsche" part, so dealer techs wouldn't be allowed to install the improved bearing.

JMatta - Punkin has been resting comfortably in the garage for about 6 wks. Pulled her out for the 12/12 snow (a mere 5"). Felt sorry for her and the weatherman predicted 40 deg for last Sat. Decided to drive to Lincoln for lunch and give her a bit of exercise. Of course the weatherman lied, as you can see by the gray clouds in the 1/16 pic. But it does show off the 14" of snow we now have. I'm really glad I bought a bad weather car last winter.
