I waited 2 months for a oem piston and sleeve from Germany recently. Good luck on it.

and no whammies! 5 bar fpr were scanned and replaced in cheese at 10,000 times and shipped to your house cod!

i got some 997TT pistons an liners if anyone wants to upgrade from 996TT and doesnt feel like spending the money for the 3.8

Thanks guys. Mark, I'm not even positive what's going on inside here. I want to help Sean to get a true evaluation (by Sean haha). It would be a rare case if there is in fact internal damage. But the silver lining is that a build was part of the plan...just moved up on the timeline anyway. So SRM and I will help him compensate for that and make him whole. It sucks what happened and it's part of the game sometimes. Once we have it open we will have a little meeting about what is required and what is just badass including displacement

We may very well reinforce and put it back together as a 3.6. It will be a lot easier to look at when it's on the table and all the facts are there. Sean has been an amazing customer and really a true car guy. He loves his car and actually enjoys it on some serious drives. Can't wait to get him back on the road.
