Ignition rev 6 and kaboom?
I have viewed a 2005 997 C2s MT with the following records
ignition rev 1 640/1663h
ignition rev 2 63/1663h
ignition rev 3 4/1663h
ignition rev 4 4/1663h
ignition rev 5 3/1663h
ignition rev 6 2/1663h
Total engine operating hr counter = 1674h
I desperately need some advice as to if this car is safe to own for many years if I do not plan to over 7000rpm at all. Will the records in rev 5 & 6 = a walk a way from the buy situtation?
Many thanks for your kind assistance.

The DME indicates this was a very recent incident...perhaps someone taking it for a spin and missed a shift (money shift). Normally if it occurred hundreds of hours ago I would say all is well, but in this instance this is not the case.
If you are serious about this or any other Porsche, have an intense PPI done (borescope, fluids, etc) and not just the $100 put it up the rack and take a look see.
It would have to be a very special car for me not to walk on this one especially since there are many out there to choose from.

The usual rule as I understand it is that if an incident happened more that 40 oper hrs ago and car has no CEL and displays no problems it is considered to have survived intact. This car does not meet that standard and I would keep looking if I were you.

I've mentioned this somewhere else but my car sometimes records exactly +1 in the ranges. I was checking the DME after every ride and taking screen shots for my records. Not real as spiffyjiffy mentioned.
