I'm eying up a Porsche but just can't figure out the IMS / Bore issue sitation with this particulaor engine.

Now my research has gathered the following:

IMS - Single Row , should still be replaced for safety. That's fine with me.

Bore scoring issue doesn't effect this car and is with the earlier 3.4s etc?

The car in question is a Porsche + 1 owner car who has had it for 9 years and covered 65k.

I have looked up the issues like radiations, expansion tanks etc. I am ok with all of that as I have my own 2 post ramp and Im handy with a spanner.

What I need confirming the bore and ims side of things. RMS should as I figure be ok on this car aswell?

Also when looking at one in person, other than the very obvious things, what should I be listening for in particular and looking for extra carefully that is very 3.6 engine specific?

 

These issues have been covered god knows how many times. Rennlist is practically made up of the questions ur asking.
I don't care how handy you are.. Do yourself and your wallet a favor and get a PPI (pre perchance inspection)

 

Hi,

I understand your feelings however it's been discussed so many times it just becomes a compelte ball of mess crossings with 3.4 / 3.6 / Tip / manual / C2 / C4s etc etc.

I am in the UK if you didn't spot that BTW.
