also one more thing please, is this a 2008 engine? am asking because the Carrera S I just purchased last week is a 2007! According to the registration papers.

The last "8" in the 688 sequence in the number means that yes, it is in fact a 2008 year motor and has the larger IMS bearing.

Thanks a lot.
