997s Bank 1 Cylinder Issues
Discussion
Hello all, I am just getting my cylinders dealt with right now. The dreaded bore scoring issue has come up for me. It's in the usual place where you would expect (cylinders 5 and 6). What I am wondering is whether I should bother getting the liners done on the bank 1 cylinders too. It is obviously a lot more money and I hear that bank 1 cylinders are not really an issue.
Is there anything I am overlooking here or are they fairly safe to leave?
Thanks

If this ever happens to mine, I'll get both sides done as well as a load of other stuff whilst the motor is in bits. If you are spending for example £7k, another couple of grand would see a lot more work done. Mine's a keeper, so I'd be investing in it's future. Am sure Hartech will advise in full when they fully examine the engine.

Liners with supports? What's all that about then?
I think the liners Hartech use have got the retaining bands machined onto them to interlock all cylinders to prevent any movement like a true close deck engine. Liners with supports? What's all that about then?
Happy to be corrected by Hartech it I am wrong !
