So I bought my first Porsche - 2002 C4S. A friend sold it to me for a very good price after she described it having a really bad sound in the engine. After doing my search on the internet - Alas, the IMS bearing issue! I took it to a local SoCal rebuilder, signed the papers to do the work, and THEN I researched them! I usually do my homework but I was too excited to get it running. After searching your Forum and others I found they are not very reputable - some angry customers out there. I'm sick to my stomach. I went to the shop today and told them to stop all work, don't do another thing and I want to cancel my order. Without any real hassle, the head honcho said no problem but he needed time to gather all the parts and get the block from the shop that was boring it out to a 3.8. Now here is my question. Does anyone know how I can find out if the engine block I get back is mine - I didn't take the number off it before I had them take out the motor. Second, is there some kind of parts list that I can print that I can inventory the parts I get back. I'm freaking out that I'm not gonna get some old worn out parts that I'll have to replace or not all the parts will be returned. Also, any makings on the fuel injection system that I can match to my car?
Sorry for such a long thread but I'm very worried I'm gonna take it in the shorts Big Time, well, more than I already have . . .
