Congratulations! Would love to see pics.
Was there a reason for the replaced engine?

According to the service records and memory of owner, the original engine was in shop a few times for multiple oil leaks during his first couple years of ownership. He picked it up at 22months age and 30k miles. AOS and RMS were changed but problems persisted so Porsche did a goodwill warranty engine replacement at 37k in 2005, after the warranty period. The part number ends in BX so is apparantly a remanufactured engine. According to my Porsche dealer, this means that the block and head are used and most if not all moving parts were newly installed.

I have been meaning to get underneath to pull the engine serial number and get the full story from Porsche if possible.

Sorry, pics coming after I wash it! Just too hot today here.
