Thought I knew but am getting confused now....

I really do try to keep up with up whats what in the Porsche world of 996 engine issues, but I seem a bit confused this time.

I thought that all 996s had potential IMS, d-chunking, bore scoring and ovaling of bores problems, but have just read otherwise on a different thread.

I understand the IMS issues but do I have to worry about bore scoring/ovaling or D-chunking on a 1999 996 3.4?

You've also got the threat of Mrdemon not liking your chosen spec & 911god trying to spread rumours its a ringer if you won't sell him it cheap enough.

It's a dangerous world out there!

I was under the impression that the oval/scoring of bores was more a problem on the cayman & 997's though?

yep, all of the above plus if its not on N rated tyres then its obviously had ALL maintainence throughout its life scrimped on regardless of whose stamps are in the book .....

And if it doesn't have PSE then you should crush it immediately.

And as for colour/interior choice.......

Thanks for the replies so far!!!

You will be horrified to know that mine has half savanna interior and is also tiptronic.

Any chance of answering the question in the original post?

You don't HAVE to worry about anything, you can do what most of us do & just go out & enjoy the bloody thing

[bull996]

Thats exactly what I do, but I like what I (think I) know to be right!
