When I read all of the above information, it convinces me that ALL of us are second guessing compared to Flat6 / LN Engineering (USA) and Hartech (UK) regarding the cooling (or any other) systems. These guys have put some serious time into analysing what Porsche did or did not work out at the design stage of the M96 engine.
If Jake Raby, Charles Navarro or Baz Hart recommend anything regarding the longevity of these engines, I'm convinced.
They've forgotten more than we collectively know.....

Isn't it all second guessing Porsche?
