Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
All 2019 and later builds use an IMS Solution and JE Pistons; earlier builds sold through SSF would have used IMS Retrofit bearings and factory pistons that we had re-coated.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Is it just me or is it nuts that this car is not sold yet,

I would think the value is at least to 25k?
Without the RND engine the car might go for 15k? Given that the RND engine is almost $20k it's a pretty good deal?
People pay a premium for small things like IMS Solution....
This should be a mega premium.
(I don't know the owner at all and never seen the car)
Yes. I often think that I will shell out for an engine rebuild because this is my "forever" car, but then I wonder how long forever is given the curves life can throw at you.
Nothing is the same.
The RND engines are a stock replacement, and are not a product of Flat 6. I developed the original engine program for RND when the engines were to be sold by SSF Auto Parts, that was 7 years ago.
Outside of a handful of OEM parts that are used, like timing chain rails, no components are shared between the two. They are not to be compared in any way. The RND engines have never been built by Flat 6 Innovations.
This is a pretty good overview from LN Engineering website:
"All RND M96/M97 Engines are equipped with Nickies™ Performance Cylinder Sleeves, forged JE Pistons, ARP rod bolts and
the original IMS Solution
. LN Engineering low temperature thermostat, spin-on oil filter adapter and magnetic oil drain plug are standard equipment as well.Select models including the Cayenne S and Turbo V8, Panamera V8, and 9A1/9A2 engines feature Nickies Lite direct plating process.
RND Engines does not offer performance engine rebuilds or bore oversizes, however our sister company, Flat 6 Innovations, offers turnkey performance engines and rebuild services for all Porsche models including those fitted with the M96/M97 and 9A1/9A2."
Unless you've got a crystal ball, "forever" will always be a crap shoot. There are no guarantee's in life - live every day like there may be no tomorrow...
All 2019 and later builds use an IMS Solution and JE Pistons; earlier builds sold through SSF would have used IMS Retrofit bearings and factory pistons that we had re-coated. The builds are otherwise the same and utilize the components offered in the rebuild kits we sell on the LN site.
Half a year or so. Bought on a whim after selling my Vette. I love the car, just not getting the attention it deserves. [phone removed] shoot me a text if youd like more info! Thanks!
