Hi Dave :)

Engine location makes no difference, its still various lumps of metal that all run at roughly the same temperature (assuming not running in the Artic or Sahara), our lumps are put together by Porsche rather well though :)

All the best Brett :)

Sort of although the M96 & 97 have specific problems not shared on the others.
