Chances are someone stole your engine when you weren't looking.
Hope that helps.

It would appear that torqueing alone is not sufficient to keep this problem from happening as evidenced by the sheer number of folks that have suffered this fate with the 911. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/238313-cv-joint-failure-carnage.html
