TeamOxford - can I see the engine number w/o raising the car ?

Seller found an email with items done to the car at that time,
there was a line there saying :

NV Wty Intermediate Shaft

Also managed to speak to a Porsche NA representative that confirmed that the
engine was pulled out and either they put in a reconditioned engine or reconditioned
the original engine and put it back - not sure what that means - maybe means they
replaced ims with the LNE ims ?

Doubtful. Unless you are REALLY thin. You could always drive the car to an oil change joint and check it from the grease pit.

I don't know what this means, but I assume that "Wty" stands for "warranty".

Just sayin'...........

the chance of a LNE replacement is between slim and none and slim left town last week
