My Indy shop must work on more cars then. He had 3 dead M96s in a back room he showed me. I had to have mine replaced. The timing chain jumped timing and killed the piston and rod on number 2. Not a cheap repair, the engine was replaced altogether. I will add to the IMS and slipped sleeve issue to have camshaft deviation checked. My repair was expensive. Very expensive. However it could've been avoided had I known to check camshaft deviation.

I bought mine in the same manner as yours. On a whim at a Subaru/Kia dealer, having done very minimal research. Even having to replace the engine, I love my car. It's fun to drive, as was pointed out earlier, people are staving, or homeless, and we all drive Porsches. We are a lucky group.
