With reference to wear on my engine,bottom end was definately gone,but I did hear it starting to tingle,I know from race experience to stop immediatley but did'nt.That would have saved the crank & rod. Grant said the pistons were savagable.I just went the 3.7 route because you can't have enough torque or power.I am not gentle with any car I have and have a scrap box with destroyed engines from Alfa 16v flat 4's,inline factory race 2 litre twin cam. Cosworth turbo with cracked blocks.Rods through the side in Cooper S. All engines do go bang if you take to the limit. I did have the 996 round Millbrook one day for exercise.The bill for the engine is compareable with the engine I am having built for my Cosworth.I have been told not to take the 996 on track when done and enjoy it as a road car.Will update with progress.Mike.
