Rev range 4 and hours .. again
Discussion
Bear with me - I have searched previous posts on the issue of rev range data but need to make a quick decision.
Buying a 997 Turbo, have put through 111 point check for peace of mind. OPC have come back to me today with one incident of over rev in range 4, I think they said about 1060 hours total engine running.
Is one incident in 4 worthy of a compression test?
..and what does the hours in relation to miles signify?
thanks

One incident as in one ignition? If the latter then the OPC should have told you that that is an error. Apparently they have guidance from Germany to say this - or so I was told by my OPC only last week!
Just 1 incident is obviously an error. I'd get something in writing to this effect from the OPC.purpleperil said:

Only when selling.When it comes to claiming then it's not an error.
Just double checked and washed my ears out.
It's 268 ignitions, in the last 4 engine hours.
Nothing in ranges 5 and 6.
I can get the compression test done to prove all ok, but extending warranty in March next year (when the current warranty expires) means another test.
And of course if something big goes wrong before March I'd have to get another test done.
Any thoughts?

Personally, I'd be tempted to find another car
The OPC will not put a warranty on anything with over-rev incidents in Range 3 or above – so no chance of a Porsche warranty in Range 4. Compression test or not.
They can technically ask Porsche GmbH to authorise an official warranty for a car with incidents in Rev Range 3 after a compression test – but I am told they never do this.

Added- there is also evidence (2 months ago on PH) of Porsche rejecting claims for engine failure under an approved extended warranty due to over revs i.e even if they do take your money for a warranty they can and will reject any claim for engine failure.
This was something like £20k in damage rejected
Find another car!

This is absolutely not the case. A car can still have an extended warranty with ignitions all the way up to Rev Range 6 provided said ignitions occurred more than 200 operating hours ago and provided the car passes the obligatory tests laid out my the underwriter.They can technically ask Porsche GmbH to authorise an official warranty for a car with incidents in Rev Range 3 after a compression test – but I am told they never do this.
Seemingly the rules are ever changing and the above currently applies.

And to add - they won't even ask for any tests if the recordings are obviously erroneous - i.e. single digit!Seemingly the rules are ever changing and the above currently applies.

The above about Porsche not being able to warranty cars with RR3 is also totally incorrect in my experience.
