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.

That's a ballsy amount of work - fair play to you - I always think engine out is like the biggest thing known to man but for a 911 its all part and parcel of long term ownership I guess.
While the engine is out are you detailing and lanoseal all the bay?
Hadn't considered Lanosealing - might speak to my man about it and see what he recommends: he's a no nonesense kinda guy - has seen many a car in his time (including his own 911)
Just had having my engine & gearbox dropped also to replace the leaking rusted fuel rails. Luckily I found a good condition set in California for £100 rather than paying Porsche UK £1020).
Looks like I’ll be getting some minor oil leaks sorted as well as brake pipes, AOS, Y cable and some other bits ‘n’ bobs done whilst access is good. Engine getting a clean & some protective coating.
Other work identified but that can wait until Spring and some warmer weather for me to sort.
I was thinking more of the problem that can occur where the OEM glue fails on the inserts and you loose all your coolant very quickly.
It's a well known problem called "pinning" Welding (tig) or re-bonding the inserts.
Here's a vid about it.
