What was the engine serial # of your second engine that failed?

I believe he's the one known owner that had a G6 engine fail, albeit not valvetrain related.

15k miles and some 12 track days on my G60914 so far and it's been amazing.

I don't recall which series it was, but I posted about it earlier in this thread. I recall it being a few years ago.

It would be on the paperwork you got from dealer.
My engine serial # F03048 went bad in July 2021.
My new replacement engine serial # G61792.

I saw an interesting article in this months issue of Total 911 and thought you guys might be interested in it.

E0, yes. Not E1. Many of those are still in circulation (in the 2014s).

So while the engine is out, is there any other maintenance that could/should be done to the trans since it would be very simple?
