Brad the installation of anything no matter how simple can be "messed up". Let's just agree to disagree on this one 
.
.And with 3 leaking seals I would start to thing that something is damaging the seals and its not defective seals? At that point it really is time to do some serious measurments of the crank to case at multiple crank angles

touche....................................... I suppose you can consdier it that way, i really dont but i will give it to ya. But damaged seals do leak within the first usualy 2 minutes of the car running, and rarely should leave the dealer for the customer to find

Become a member and go to the members area; I'm sure there's more "insult-the-non-members" fun to be had there.
Negative? I? It's more like I expect "excellence" from Porsche and when I see shortcomings in the cars I let people know about them. I have alot of stuff (getting sick of owning so much stuff) and when I acquire something I'm not automatically a devoted admirer of the manufacturer or designer who's willing to vigorously defend the product and magically overlook it's weaknesses. IMO, because of it's successes, Porsche is not really "on our side" as buyers these days like they have been in the past.
I and ben? With ripping attacks (out of nowhere) on any time I post here, how would anyone admit they made a mistake? I read in Panorama or Excellence a detailed article about the RMS some years ago. Turns out I wrongly remembered some details what I read. I would have gladly admitted it , and would have been grateful to anyone who politely pointed out how I screwed it up. But to have a guy insted bludgeon you with insults who's going to do that? He poisons the atmosphere here; just like the bully article says. Everytime I post here I expect to be attacked by him or one of his followers.

Wise men speak because they have something to say;
fools because they have to say something
<Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are an embarrassment to American society.
Sharpton needs to visit the house of Thurmond for a little more perspective>
was this one of your "wise man" thoughts, or just another creepy posting

Wow, I missed alot.
dstrimbu:
No new engine, just new seals...the official response was: "that's what a warranty is for".
500:
I know that two of the three replacements was performed by the same tech...I remember talking with them directly, they were very frustrated by my car.

LOL, later I was given the lesson by my car not to complain about the RMS...I had a shifter cable brake one Friday night leaving my by the side of the road. At least the RMS is an item one can address "at will".
