"Let me assure you all....my engine was TOTALLY new EVERY part of it!!!!!!
Not some parts but all!!!! I saw it come out of the crate (from Germany) and examined every square inch of the sucker, there was no "re-used" parts!"

With all due respect to you, you could not possibly tell if a reconditioned pulley or Fuel Injection unit were with your new motor.

These items are brought back up to spec and likely may have had 5K on them when they were pulled from another warranty failure.

Not to worry, the engine is new for all practical purposes.

At least that is what my service manager tells me.

And that is why Porsche does not use the term "new engine" but rather, "replacement engine." At least that is what they told my neighbor when here 12K engine let go last winter.
