    Do you know if the 997s still have the RMS/IMS problems which plagued the 996?

    What year is this 997? I assume it is no longer covered under a factory warranty? Was the motor blown up on the street or track? TIA.

    Ouch. Is there a theory as to why the wrist pin log broke or just a random failure ?

    The actual wrist pin didn't break which would be easier to explain, just the snap ring that holds it in. I can't find any left over pieces and the cylinder liner is not scratched up from it coming loose.

    Surely crank bearing failure has nothing to do with missing piston gudgeon pin clip ... and surely that crank is toast?

    I would not be attempting to rebuild that engine. Your just putting the pin back in the grenade.

    Price out a complete unit from Porsche. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the price. These liquid cooled engines are. Nothing like the air cooled units. They are almost a throw away item if they pop. Maybe that's why Porsche keeps the replacement costs for the motors at a fair and almost cheap price.
