So it's the oil? I knew it! You need to run 0w40. I wonder if I ought to do a search for prior oil threads...
All kidding aside. I'm sorry for your misfortune. I hope you get it back with minimal wallet pain and suffering. I just had my tranny rebuilt on the 99 996 a few months ago and went with the IMS upgrade, RMS, and AOS also.
It's got 113,000 miles and keeps on ticking.

pat056, i was planning on my engine lasting at least that long before any major overhaul or rebuild.

Was the tranny rebuild a major expense?

Looks like just like computers, the broken parts add up fast. My point when you are in the business of fixing broken somethings you will have a hell of a lot of broken somethings! Lets not start a panic here

Those are from our engine dyno- We have made so much power and RPM that the dyno has exploded on a few occasions.

Wow!!!!

Those pictures are amazing, thank for sharing Jake....

I have a remanufactured Porsche engine I had installed 3 years ago now, because of an intermix failure... Hope she doesn't end up on your death shelf...
