So my question is do I tell the next owner that it is not worth buying as it is about to implode or lie and ask for 20k getting ready to flee the country the next day ? Eh ?

bakalos Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 Which models suffer from bore scoring ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairy rare, but the 3.4 987 and the 3.6 997 versions of the M97 engine. It is possibly down to not letting them warm up properly before running them hard, creating a hot spot in the thinner block walls as they are quite bored out for the block size. A lower temp thermostat, or just some mechanical sensitivity are good precautions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bally4563 Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 Also it appears to have effected Caymans more. If you look, all models and variants can suffer with this. I definitely know mine doesn’t, as the inside of the tail pipes have rusted up, due to lack of use during my recent projects, no oil coating them !!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be pretty rare but it is a factor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codfanglers Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 Does it also affect tiptronics more due to a tendency to let the engine labour more at lower revs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
