^^Ditto to Robmypro
I intentionally had my dealer do the SW install the week following taking delivery on the weekend ,
I figure if dealer installs without telling me of any comprise of warranty coverage ,good to go .

Drive it and hope for covered failure during warranty, or plan to trade it for a .2, or otherwise rid yourself of it for a preferred car if you have one - within warranty. These are the only realistic options I see.
The more I drive and learn the thing, the smaller my list of preferred cars becomes. The CPO is therefore looking a good deal right now and I am enjoying the mileage and hoping the promise of a .2 allocation is genuine. I am having a very hard time not making it a DD.
Incidentally, the Smokies meet simply made the situation worse. We both got a better sense of what the car is by driving it and watching others do the same. We just don't want to pay for a new engine before it's got decently high mileage on it!
Spending the day with some friends who have a host of delectable cars - a stable of 18, primarily Italians with the horse logo, including some specials. Not one I would actually trade for the GT3 from a driving perspective. Fancy that.

I hear you. This 991 GT3 is literally it for me. I just don't find any other car out there capturing my interest like this one. So special. But the engine issue is on my mind a bit. Going to do my first oil change in about a week, and going to send samples to Blackstone to see how things look. Also planning to take it to the drags next month, to see how it does.

I didn't feel Porsche would try to deny warranty but was a little surprised they want a picture. Right now I'm more concerned with which way they will go with my car. After just the little I have learn from here it, I will feel better with the G motor. I know we don't know how will hold up but seems more promising then heads/programming oil pump.

We will know more in the next 6 months to a year. But still a small sample size. Hard to draw concrete conclusions.

Mine was the same when I brought the car in to be changed from E to G. Theres enough evidence on these pages to ensure PAG can never back out from the fact this is a "design fault" with the engine. I doubt they would ever consider rejecting a warranty claim for any bolt on parts IMO....

Maybe it's market research and they want to give us what we want.

Would Chris be the first we know of to get Heads, Cams, Rockers instead of a new motor?
If mine gives up I plan to push hard for a G motor.

Sounds like you presented your case, but be sure to lay out all we know about the G motor. Those changes were made for a reason.

I believe others have had parts replaced. If I'm correct Rm21 had just parts replaced on his 15.
