Parting it was an option, it comes down to cost: part it and buy/build a Spec e36 or Spec Boxster (cheaper to run / lighter, more places to race it) - but I think I have a source for a new engine that will last longer AND have more power. As Greg (sterm) said this isn’t that uncommon for this many track hours (last 7k on the motor was all track). Everything was done right, no oil consumption, no temp issues (water or oil), had a more-than-adequate cooler on there, no warning, it just went… probably WAS starvation, I was really turning things up driving was and carrying 110+ through quite a lot of high-speed corners the past week and you can only do that for so long … [details / writeup here (new thread)](http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1009799#post1009799) --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/dropped-some-weight-from-the-z/51381)._
