Hi guys. Again thanks for all the comments and kind words. As promised I would keep you updated with my engine repair, today PCNA reviewed the pictures and made a determination that my engine should be replaced with a new engine. An order for the new engine was placed today and is being flown from Germany and should arrive by end of this week. The plan is to have it back in the car early next week. Very impressive turn around, less than 2 weeks. Really happy with the outcome and I will continue to update you with my repair. Mark

Glad you got good news. It is pretty clear Porsche is doing the right thing for all
Time to drive the snot out of all 2014/2015. Get a new engine before warranty up should be the ideal plan

Great news Mark. You will I am sure get a "G1" serial engine (confirm when you can) which will mean your engine will be almost identical to the one in the latest RS and 911R. Well done!

I'm at 14,000 mikes, 43 track days and about to do my 6k track maintenance next month. The heat slowed me down this year but I'm trying to make up for it in the fall. I had two injectors replaced but otherwise it has been running fine on 0w40. I think Manifold is even farther along in terms if days. I let the car shift like Joe. Glad that doesn't seem to be linked to the engine issues. This thread still has me scared but I'm not going to worry about it too much and plan to track it as much as possible while it is still in the warranty period.

Rich. You are in the record books along with Joe & Manifold. That's almost 80 hours track time. I think the F engines definitely go longer than the E...
By the time you get there they will probably be providing engines with cams and finger followers made from titanium (hey that would be a good idea for the 991.2 GT3 engine!!) LOL!
