I stopped at a gas station right away, the engine had a knocking sound so I immediately shut it off and now it won't even turn over. Fcuuuuuk. If the engine is scored, I don't know if I keep the pig or not.
What is/was your SO's P!G?

It's a 957 CTT. This whole thread is just about that particular (his SO's) car.

I feel your pain, my 996 suffered the "cracked cylinder" problem about 8 months ago, but at least it wasn't the dreaded IMS bearing issue, lol.

Damn!

Mind sharing the cost of the rebuilt?
Just curious, if you don't I understand.

Feel so sorry for you man . Would be interesting to take the engine fully apart to investigate the reason.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune, but it sounds like you have a great solution at a reasonable cost. Care to share the info about the engine supplier? (So I can file it away for when I need it!)

Cheers,
TomF
