RMS replaced 987

Hi, my 987 has just had the RMS replaced at 14k, used for long runs at high speed 3k round trips, driven with passion but not flogged. also had the oil pressure release valve replaced it rattled at 2200 rpm common on the 987.

Phill: a few questions

-How much oil were you leaking?
-Any comment out of the dealership on this?
-What do you mean by "long runs at high speed 3k round trips"?
-how'd you break the car in?
-S or base model?
-Manual or Tip trany?
Thanks,

This makes me wonder if Cayman owners are experiencing RMS issues on the 3.4... I'm thinking about saving up and buying a 07 S when they start to come off 3 year leases and I HOPE they've fixed the problem by now... but I'm not holding my breath.
