I have a 1999 2.5 base model that I bought 2 1/2 years ago. I was able to get the records and found that the motor was replaced by a Porsche dealership in 2003. All it said on the invoice was "engine seized", so I'm not exactly sure what happened. This new/remanufactured engine has 53,000 + miles on it. I believe I probably have a single row bearing in this engine but there is no way to be sure without dismantling it. I plan to keep the car so I will replace the bearing either with the "permanent solution" or "ceramic bearing" (if it's a dual row bearing) .
