The purchaser has determined that persuing this in any form just isn't worth the time. He'd much rather my efforts be expended on making his Boxster a GT3 killer.

So this person will go on as a part of our community, mingling with others that have no clue that they may be the next one that he decides to take advantage of, then pass the blame onto others....

So, allow this post and our expenditure of funds to be nothing more than a reality for those who feel a used engine is a viable means of solving the issues associated with an M96 engine failure.

This will only get worse as people get a few special tools in their hands and think this engine is a ssimple as a Briggs and Stratton... More will be screwed and for much more money than we were.

You have been warned.
