I am not an engine builder, but everything Porsche said adds up. And, if there is a problem, you guys will be taken care of regardless. Add it all up and it's "don't worry, be happy."

But I do find it strange about the cams. This person said power was less before they got the rebuild, and after they got the new G engine. Those seem like pretty good comparisons to get wrong. The dealer even looked into the cam situation, as it was strange to get RS cams for a GT3. No idea how all of that aligns with the PET.
