I don't get it ? One of the most educated engine experts on the M96 engine provided his opinion based on real life failures and some want to jump on him for that opinion ? Like anything else get educated and make the decision for yourself. In this particular example we're talking water pumps but it can easily be AOS or RMS or ??? When I took my motorcycle license test they stressed how much risk are you willing to assume ? No different when talking high end performance cars regardless of brands. Go look at Benz or BMW forums and you see the same discussions taking place. Leave your water pump in for 100k with zero maint. some will have success some will have failures that will cost 10k plus to repair........how much risk are you willing to assume ? To be fair I will tell you my 2002 S is currently at Jake's for........... a cracked head so I have a vested interest in his expertise
Jake can stand on his own merits he doesn't need me to be a cheerleader, but I've been on this planet long enough to figure out who's a keyboard hero and who has REAL expertise. Don't forget the 24 Hours of Daytona starts today......go Porsche
