Sorry to hear this bad news. My engine went after I drove to Mt. Tremblant and before I got on the track. I was lucky to get a tow home from someone else in our club and I got to drive his 997 GT3 home. Mine is being rebuilt and I hope to have it back by Thanksgiving. In my case it was the IMSB and a timing chain ramp. but there was no damage to the block, heads, crank or rods. I don't have the skills, tools or time to rebuild my engine myself. Are you going to rebuild yours? You should inquire of Porsche Canada if they have M96 short blocks on sale now as mentioned in other threads.
