If someone is buying a new engine, what condition of core do they expect to get back? Mine has a hole, I can't image it's an optimal exchange. Ya, I'll go back to stock and FP tune just for the warranty. Can't afford to do this twice (much less once) - wife would shoot me, cut my nuts off and then burn me alive, but only after stabbing me thru the eye with my broken rod. Maybe the PP vs. non-PP has something to do with the higher performance cooling on the PP. Larger hose interface or valve somewhere.Generally $3600 + labor etc for a complete engine is not too bad as far as a complete long block is concerned, and if you send the core its 1K less. So technically you could easily just budget the whole $3600+ as installed. It is a good option to go back to a stock unit if you smoke it, provided you do not kill the turbo too. And yeah who knows what the difference is with the [E-F] model. I was not under the impression the base or PP versions were any different.
