i had an engine rebuilt on a car years ago and the mechanic who built it / instaleld it told me to drive it just like I would normally drive it. he didn't want me to try and abuse it, but encouraged me to drive it hard. his only suggestion was to not leave it at the same speed/rpm fro a long period time...he wanted the engine to be moving throughout the revs and not sit at one speed .... kind of like wha thtey told you - avoid cruise.. dont take a 6 hour road trip and sit at 3000 rpm all day..

you are lucky you had it happen "soon" enough that the dealer paid.. they paid for the whole thing?

Porsche paid for 100% of the parts. I paid the labor.
