As of now, I bought the car with just a tic under 60K on it 4 years ago, and it now has 97K. I drive it as it was intended to be driven, but I take exceptional care of it too. It simply does not use any oil. I rarely have to add any, maybe after a track weekend I'll be down a 1/2 quart, but that's it. I get a Blackstone report at each oil change, and it reads near perfect - within each spec. No lights, no power loss. So right now, I'd say no scoring. Now's the time to sell it I think. These threads are starting to freak me out!
Now I should explain I don't drive my Porsche's much anymore. I probably drive 2-3K miles a year. Used mainly as a date night/Sunday driver/short overnight trip car. I also drive it regularly to keep everything exercised. My Bore Scoring Fears are ended once I get it Scoped since my added on miles are so few.
*When I locate the Silver/Black 991 w/manual Transmission and metal sunroof(not glass) in a year or 2 I'll most likely be selling my 997 but until then it will be thoroughly enjoyed!
Linder get the Inspection dude.

Unfortunately we will not be able to meet your needs. A huge chunk of our purchasers have the same time frame as you, and the slots of time for those completions are taken first.
Currently I am backlogged till Q3 2023 for completions, with no opportunities for anything before these dates. At the present only 4 slots in Q3 remain, after our last webinar filled 21 slots in less than 4 hours. That was held last Thursday."
(I think Im going to use the LN ENG. RND MOTOR If and or needed, when the time may come.)

I called in today and had truly the pleasure of speaking with George. He was very informative, and had many great ideas and additional information that I didn't know about. In addition great product knowledge in Re: To my year 2006 S IMS.
With getting back into the "Porsche" world again a lot has changed. Your web page has some really good information on it and all of the videos are a great resource for any Porsche owner.

Call LN first, they no longer even offer RND Engine. But they gave me a few places that are somewhat close that can handle the build.

I have a September completion date for a stage II and am at $26,500. I am pulling the motor and installing the rebuilt. When you look at what all you get plus the reputation that FSI has I really think it is a good value. I have a thread going and will update with my final cost.

The Q2 2023 proposal completions we sent out after last week's webinar are up 9K over what your engine is proposed at. No one seems to care. Some Q3 slots were filled at these same prices, based on the stage and engine designation, since we filled Q2 in less than one hour following the webinar. I had some component allocations that got us 1/3 through Q3, but those are all filled now. I expect that the remaining Q3 and all Q4 slots will be an additional 4-5K over the prices that were gone over in last week's webinar for Q3. We won't know till I hold the Webinars for those in April, and September 2022.
We just proposed a 9A1 GTS @ 4.2L for over 50K, which is up 15K over what that engine sold for in 2019.
Put simply, if anyone had prices from us at an earlier date, those are wiped away completely. That said, no proposed engines are having their prices changed, since we have component allocations, and costs in place at the time of the proposal for all those jobs. Once in stone- it will not change here.
I don't see these dropping, and I don't think that I'll be able to work from a "made to order" perspective after Q4 2023, or maybe even Q3. If that happens we will shut all sales down, work away the backlog completely, and then change to another ordering format, only selling engines as they are completed, with a known cost, and end result.

People who purchased when you did do not know how lucky they were.I tried to tell them, but they just thought it was a sales ploy.

.I have been very impressed with the process so far and the lengths you and FSI have gone through to ensure that my and other engines will have everything needed to be completed on time. Oh and I do realize how lucky I am and am very thankful to have pulled the trigger when I did.

Jake---> Also Aircooled parts prices and rebuild costs have hit the roof. At Aker's Porsche my Indy, they are currently rebuilding top end of 993 motor with the familiar/common clogged head SAI passages
Cost 5-6 yrs ago was about 11K. Now closer to $20K

Due to my advanced way of doing things it took 22 months for the inflation to hit us cost wise. That forethought is the only thing that kept shortages from hitting us, because I took the parts from everyone else, plus I became my own importer of components. I used C19 to my advantage when it came to the rest of the market, and I continue to.
I'm trying to make lemonade from lemons, and use this as a way to change the program around, and make it simpler. It means that every engine will be built with every option, and sold when completed for the 2024 and beyond season. The down side to that is we will have hundreds of people on the list waiting to buy one when I finally complete the first ones. I have stopped taking orders at this point. I've sent the same canned reply out 11 times so far today. So many people waited too long, and they didn't even know it.
