  Yes, not tearing down the short block is the right decision.<br><br>Besides, it&apos;s no fun if there&apos;s no carnage to revel in.

  cool video Eric, <br>there were no indications of lubrication failure in the parts you removed and examined so I totally agree with your decision to not strip the motor any further 👍

  This is most friendly and gentle engine teardown in the channel history. 😅

  Anyone who pronounces the name &apos;Porsche&apos; the correct two-syllable way definitely gets my respect ! 👍👍

  An expensive core that you&apos;ve been looking for? &nbsp;That&apos;s hardcore.

  It&apos;s so refreshing to hear Porsche pronounced correctly. I can only hear it pronounced &quot;porsch&quot; so many times before I have to rage-quit the video. Well done, sir!

  Feel free to throw the water pump as hard and far as possible. &nbsp;M96 water pumps are a known failure item; replacing them is &quot;routine&quot; maintenance &nbsp;(like every 50k miles IIRC). &nbsp;Nice to see the engine torn down as far as it was; I now appreciate my 996&apos;s motor that much more.

  Even though you had to stop short ( perfectly understandable ) it was interesting to see the engineering ethos of Porsche. I am always fascinated to see how each engine builder drives their camshafts and valvetrains which, I feel, &nbsp;is their engineering signature. In this engine, everything seemed to be built to have a solid purpose with as few frills as possible. As opposed to Audi which seems to think the more parts, the better. &nbsp;If you have the chance to take apart an Audi V8 you will see what I mean. &nbsp;Keep them coming!

  I watched this one to learn what happened to the engine. I was disappointed that you didn&apos;t provide a better explanation as to what/how/why the failure occurred. I often tear down engines at work and love to figure out exactly what happened.
