Drew1:
I believe what you tell me regarding Britwrench
His expertise must be very valuable in this country. I come from France / Switzerland and my experience so far here has been pretty bad. Last time I took my car to a Porsche dealer (so called "expert") to change the oil cooler seals I had to wait 5 weeks. When I drove the car back home I got stuck half way with the water boiling (perhaps this is what killed my bearings). The 2nd time I drove the car home I noticed the oil pressure was permanently at 5 bars (max) and never moved. I knew right away that the wires had been reversed on the oil pressure sending unit and I called the Porsche dealer to tell him so that he knows next time.
So if I want to rebuild this engine myself it is not for the money I save but because I really do not trust the dealers. I am not a mechanic and definitely not a Porsche expert but I have a MS in Mechanical Engineering (and a PhD in Applied Mathematics) so I think that I know what I am doing. It will just take me some time ...I also trust people on this board who are I think the real experts.
So, long life to the board!
