I'd say the 2009 997 is getting more spendy than I'm comfortable with. Not wanting to risk a total engine failure, it seems the way to go is with a 2005 with the old IMS style bearing that's been updated or have it updated. This sure looked nice, but I wouldn't want to risk the engine failure at all, and splitting the cases sounds too brutal.
