+1. I don't come to this forum to read political opinions. I come here to read about how Jake is dealing with all of our blown up engines!

I could care less about Pelosi. I don't have time to worry about things I can't control..She doesn't represent my state (she'd NEVER get elected here!) and she has been de-throned anyway.

Well, ALL THREE of the cars that came in on that truck are certifiably DEAD.. Both of the 996s had intermix. The Boxster also had what appears to be a cracked cylinder, it failed all our tests on cylinder #3.

Are you at liberty to say how many 986/996 failures (ball park) you've seen come to your shop and how many years that comprises?

We've been working with the engines for about 8 years... I have no idea how many failed engines we've seen, undoubtedly more than anyone in the US, as thats what we specialize in. I have some sort of documentation on most every one, so I certainly could add up a number if I wanted to.

Yes, all 3 of the vehicles that came in on that truck are in need of an upgraded engine or my CPO engine.

i take that to mean that total rebuild /replacement is required?
