Hi all,
This isnt a "what is borescore" type post, and simply I cant find the answer on the forum or google. You lot have more knowledge than anywhere so here we go.
Ive been out of a 911 for about 2 years now. My 996 cracked a cylinder liner and exploded in spectacular fashion.
Long story short ive been saving to top up the kitty from a 997.1 C2s to a 997.2 C2S over the past yer as they "dont suffer borescore". Having already lost one engine, I err on the side of caution.
2019 ill be back in a 911, however whilst ive been waiting in the wings, ive kept my finger on the pulse......
Gen2 cars are also suffering, so they arent immune!! WTF!!!
Puts my mind in a muddle and what ever car i get itll be over serviced, low temp thermostat etc, everything to preserve life.
My question...... Do the 996 or 997 Turbos ever suffer? From what I know its the hardware, ie turbos which fail. Not the block itself. I am a dab hand and currently rebuilding my track cars engine, however removing turbos seems like a better deal than dragging the lump to Hartech for a full rebuild.
Thank in advance
