2014 GT3 13k miles E1 engine
Discussion
How risky is this early 991.1 GT3 engine compared to the later “F” engines? Does it have a higher finger follower failure rate?
The car will be under CPO for 2 years, and I’m hoping I won’t need an engine replacement during that period.
Also, at what mileage do finger followers typically start to show damage/failure?
Engine: #E11756 (MA175)
What else cpo cover

The E0 engines had a faulty connecting rod fastener design which is initially why they were all recalled. They were replaced with the E1 which suffer the same cam and finger follower wear issues that some of the subsequent ones do.
I think they were all given a 10 year warranty which have all expired now. I don't know how OPC warranty deals with with engine issues past that 10 year but someone on here who runs a 991.1 GT3 will know more. I assume they would only replace the failed parts rather than replacing the whole unit.
Personally, I wouldn't touch an E-Series engine because there is a high probability of it failing.
If you are adamant on a 991.1 GT3, look for one with a G6 engine. That was the last iteration of that engine series.
If you can stretch to a 991.2 GT3. That would be ideal. You get the 4L cup car derived engine as well as all the other series updates.

Good luck!
