I'm sure Porsche took all optimal points into consideration when designing the M96 engine...like all the other weak points designed into it. I trust the "real world" experience of Charles and Jake over the factory hype and coverup. I wish for my engine to last and will do everything I can to make it do so.
Don't you think Porsche tests their cars on the road extensively before releasing them? I saw a row of 996 Turbos outside of Vail about 6 months before the car was released.

I appreciate what Jake and Charles doing too. And I'm not saying the thermostat is a bad thing, but I do know it's a change from the way the design was intended.
