My troublesome 996.2 had a tapping noise from bank 2 was starting to smoke a little bit. I took it to my local Porsche specialist who boroscoped it, saw a couple of dark lines and came to the conclusion that my engine had Bore Score and required a £13K rebuild.
After looking at all the options (whilst saving for a re-build), I decided to send the car to Sid at Porsche Torque as he has done all the work on my car in the past and I trust him to do the full re-build with 6 new liners etc. He's also a lot cheeper than the original garage.
Turned out it was just the oil air separator and a noisy tapped. "I knew the problem the minuet I started it up and heard it - definitely not bore score)" this is when years of experience count.
Most garages would have taken my cash and done the job I asked them to do, but Sid is honest, and has saved me literally thousands.
I've been driving it all day and it's running perfect.
Top Man, Top garage.
Cars lining up ready to be worked on.
Whilst I was there he showed me an M91 engine with BoreScore so I could see the difference.
M91 Bore Score.
