Cracked block on a 05 C2S.
Just got the news that the #3 and #6 cylinders are cracked on my '05 C2S.
No idea how it happened. I had been driving the car up until the end of January without any problems. Then I suspected the clutch was going so I parked it until I had the cash to deal with it (ex and her lawyer were coming back for a 2nd bite of the apple). I went to move it after it sat for about a month and it started doing its best insect fogger imitation.
The dealer dropped the engine and pulled the heads. They did discard the coolant without doing the specific gravity test I asked them to. two cracked cylinders, no core value, bend over this won't hurt a bit.

Ouch. I'm sorry to hear this.
Safe to assume by the tone of your message that there was no CPO on the car? What about goodwill? You should see if Porsche will come to the table and help with the parts or labour.
Can we get more details? How many miles? Have you owned it since new? Is the DME scan for over revs clear?
Again, I'm sorry to hear this bad news.

My condolences to the OP - I would hope that PCNA would step up and help out but I wouldn't be holding my breath on that happening.

Thanks for all the condolences. I visited the deceased at lunch.
It is CPO'd, but this is not covered...
Porsche is having a 20% off parts sale until the end of the month (including engines)
Dealer is going to cut me some slack on the labor
Attached are a few picts of the cylinders
