New engine or quit? Existential questions ahead.

[Bebbetufs]

I actually didn't know that the 2.7 is more reliable. I thought the 2.5 was the most reliable engine of them all due to having the dual row bearing and thicker cylinder walls.

I understand all race cars and engines die. I factored it in when I bought my Boxster, but back then prices for used engines were more affordable and that made me take the plunge. I did not think far enough ahead and realize these engines would also become more expensive as supply dries up. I also did not consider that the engine is more complex than an inline engine and therefore more costly to overhaul.
