Not yet... They offered a one week "maintenance" course previously that, if I understood correctly, that then qualified one to rebuild. Top end only ? I wonder if this is merely a profit based decision, rather than a technical issue. What would dear Mr Porsche feel, praytell ? I am afraid, however, that they have us by the shorties as far as Limbach manufactured parts are concerned. Case halves are probably the biggest item I can think of. I wonder what their authorized service stations are capable of ?
