I have no experienced whatsoever with 'production' cast and aluminum CAR engines but would assume it to be the same as far as hard metal shavings are concern.
What I meant was, I guess you didn't expect the Porsche Center to turn down a potential huge job and plenty $$$, I quote; if you go at the dealer your wallet and your mind will be in a worst state than your engine. .. then a lot of talk about how much they will be screwing me at the dealer..

I also did some Googling on second hand engines
