Nice!
Maybe bring it up on the 5th to get some break in miles on her!
I think 60xxx is DLC coated everything!

It took about 10 days from me dropping the car off to Sunset to receiving the new engine. Had I not opted to wait I would have had my car back in about 2 weeks time from time I dropped it off. Really impressive turn around. Will keep u posted with my impressions. Mark

Well done Mark on the new engine! Sounds like you have been treated well with quick turn around etc.
Well the "G6" is a new designation but I assume just a G iteration given to the latest replacement engines out of stores. We have now got somewhat ahead of the latest online PET on these numbers now - if you had the replacement engine crate part number we can probably look a bit deeper etc.
Rest assured it will have the DLC cams etc so should last a very long time for you I should think.
We had a fifth engine show the "missfire" codes here in NZ. I believe that's 5 out of 30 now. So far all early E series cars. I should think those % pretty much reflect the global situation.
Enjoy stacking the miles up on it and dont baby it during break in ;-)

Next summer will be a real doomsday IMO, with A LOT of 991 GT3s joining the bad apple list and probably RS cars will start failing the same way.

Great news Mark. Enjoy the new engine and please let us know if anything feels any different compared to the previous engine. Did you ask or have any idea what they will do with the removed engine? I assume send it back to Porsche to investigate, but I'm sure they've gone through more than enough by now to really know what the real problem is.

Update on misfire on the lad's car. re-built on E engine only. Asked to get new engine but they denied.
Another engine issue happened on another guy, he will get the answer in the coming days. Automatic E engine swap is not anymore!
they are maybe convinced that DLC coat is the solution whatever the engine...
I have sold mine, waiting for the new one.

Here is a picture of the label that came on the crate. Not sure if it can tell you more about the engine.
I am really glad I got a new engine, and after couple of gas refills I am planning to drive it hard. Unfortunately the rain season has arrived, but I will take the opportunity evrytime we have a little break in the weather to drive this baby really hard. Thanks again my dear friend. Mark

A few semi- noob questions:
A top end fix will keep the the engine serial # the same as originally issued..right?
A new engine will have a new serial #...do other areas on the car have original serial #'s that tie back to the original engine serial #?

This whole thing about matching serial numbers is wildly over blown. Who really cares? And if you do, why?! It's a freaking car. Just drive the damm thing for crying out loud.
