I've used Time Sert repair kits. They are a little more expensive but work great.

If someone finds a good source for case savers....post it here. I imagine that with all of the high performance Porsche and VW engines being built in the world, there is a good source somewhere. I just did not find it. My understanding is that many of the new aftermarket VW engine blocks come with them already installed.

Time-Sert brand has worked well for me, also.
I have not experienced installation problems with them as per Frog's experience with "case-saver".

I was impressed, however, with Frog's diligent attention to precise alignment of the inserts.
With that and a Time-Sert kit, I do believe his task may have been more easily accomplished.

Excellent presentation of your repair process Frog and thanks for considering 'us' by taking the time to document your experiences.
Well done.

+1 on TimeSerts but also enjoyed Blaize's attention to detail and documentation.
