Re: uh-oh
I'm thinking the re-manufactured engine incorporates the latest part designs that were available when the engine was remade--any idea of the date it was assembled?.
From comments made on other boards, the newer IMS design started to show up in the 987 with cars made as early as June 2005, so getting an reman. engine in '09' (I'd think) would increase your chances of getting an engine with the newer style IMS.
Regarding the the metals fragments,if you are starting to see them for the first time, I think it would be a good idea to start keeping a record on the rough numbers in involved and would suggest a trying to do a oil analysis going forward for a better idea of what is in the oil. I've used Blackstone in the past and they were a good company to deal with.
On our 987 built on 10/05, I don't recall ever see any metal fragment in the filter and the oil analyses done in the final 15K showed less iron in the sample than what was typical for that motor (oil changes done at 5K intervals).
