You do provide service and rebuilds correct? I’d hate to have you rebuild my engine and have to deal with you on any oversight. You come off as very immature for a business owner. You’re not the first and only guy out there who jumped on the 996 failures when they first surfaced.

To the other guy that kisses the ground you walk on, give me your address and I'll send you the remainder of my wife's Midol. You sound like you need it more than her. I checked the posts you were about and I never seen any direct insult to anyone. Get a life please!

I made a mistake telling you not to go away. You're just a ***** and I regret my error.

*sigh* Well, I really try hard not to sound like KrazyK (i.e. running around smooching Jake's posterior) - but you've missed the mark here. If I had to pick the RL member who seems most in need of a life, Walt, regrettably I believe it's you...

<--- Bill Murray is trying to tell you something. Please listen.

Hey you guys, stop sugarcoating it and tell the guy what you really think.
Oh, and just because it's been awhile since we've gotten the opportunity:

There are a lot of people out there who know a lot about something, that, "gasp", will have a very low forum count when they first start posting. Not saying that's the case here, I didn't read up on him or care to, but that a person can't outright call someone a troll or new (maybe new to the forum) based off of a low post count.

I doubt Jake will go anywhere, he makes too much money off of this site. Plus if someone (him or anyone) left because of a person with only 6 posts, well, that says more about them than anything.

However, I've found just as helpful or more helpful articles on these cars that don't involve Jake posting. So if he did leave, yes, we would lose someone who can give advice, but he isn't the only shop or person out there online.


Oh and as far as the oil thread, I was a lemming and put in what's called for. I don't know enough about oil to get too involved, the car is expensive, and it's not something I want to learn about right this moment.

If I did want to learn though I would go on other forums and talk with sources in real life rather than on here.

It seems to me you're one of those that would just as soon not have Jake here. Jake has actually done more than just give advice on this board, there have been posts on here where Jake sent someone something FREE by the way to help them out. His advice has been a BIG benefit to many on here and I doubt it could be replaced. You say if you wanted to learn something you would go on other forums, nothing wrong with that but if you do find someone on another forum with near the knowledge Jake has please let us know. I also laugh when you say Jake makes to much money off this site for him to leave, how do you KNOW this and my feeling is that Jake could care less about how much money he makes from this site although its just my opinion and isn't any more valid than yours. If Jake does leave it will not be because of the 6 posts the new guy left but the constant grief he gets from many on here, in any event I doubt he's leaving. The new guy seems to have a ****ty attitude and I'm not the only one with that opinion.

Just to add something that may help the OP;

Jake didn't just make crap up about which oil he uses in the M96. He has been very specific about how each blend of Driven oil was formulated and for what purpose, whether it was for break-in, track use, or street use. A very simple answer to you question and a direct quote from JR is, if you want what works best for your M96, first use the break-in to flush the engine then refill with JG DT 40. If you are too dense to heed his advise, oh well, maybe your engine blows up or maybe it doesn't. Here is a link if your too ignorant to figure it out:

There it is again... On this forum I know of FOUR people that have used my services. Thats it, just FOUR, of those two of them have posted in this thread.

These cars are now in the hands of DIY owners, we don't support the DIY effort at all, and have nothing to offer them, so I don't understand how the statement I quoted above can be made at all.

Over the years my efforts shift to the newer cars that are having issues out of warranty, and are still on their first or second owner. This is the way the 996 used to buy, then the 997.1, but now we are well into the 997.2, and have been since 2010.

As time goes on the DIY owners learn from forums and do their own work. Thats what makes these forums thrive.

I just finished editing the 996 and 997 Technical Specifications for fasteners today, and thats something that a DIY'r would REALLY benefit from, as its 200 pages of every torque spec in the entire car, as well as the engine. I'm not even happy putting my name on the cover after reading this crap, because I know more of this "He is only here to make money" bull**** will be posted.

Now, three.... and I didn't find you on this forum, found you via word of mouth via another non-Porsche forum.

Did, I tell you I am going to sue you because of this permanent grin on my face from your engine!
