With 65,000 miles, it really doesn't matter. Clearly the engine passed the required testing at the factory (or Porshe never would have installed it) and the engine is still running fine. Nothing to worry about here.

I agree with both statements.

Whew! That was a close one guys!

The water pump and engine mount were replaced last night. The bearings were just starting to make noise on the WP and the mount was not too bad but it did come apart. The rubber was Vulcanized (or heated and worn so it looked "slick").

My hands are killing me! No space under there for a regular guy….you have to have a "little persons" hands.

I thought the blue dot right in the middle of the engine meant she might have been married before….lol!

That would be a red dot. Be glad your car doesn't have that. It means it was rejected by Porsche and still sent out for a married life.
