Understood, JFP.
I provided Porsche with the engine serial number. If Porsche wanted to be helpful, they could tell me the date the engine was manufactured. That information belongs to Porsche. (I know, still doesn't tell me how long the motor sat on a shelf before it was installed.)
All I can tell from the number is that it's a replacement engine, 7th version of the M96, made in 2004, and is the 65,245th unit produced. From inspection, I can tell it has the "captive" IMS bearing, which requires splitting the cases to replace.
If you can guesstimate the date of manufacture, please advise.
Cheers,
Dave
