Hello didn't think I would be posting in here.. But madness has engulfed me so I am out of my depth with all this watercooled stuff
Went to look at a 996 Turbo 80k lots of history all looked good on paper and then we plugged in the Porsche computer at a 996 watercool tec place and boom
Stage 2 over revs 200 hours ago with a rating of 420 now I was lead to understand this was very high reading and it amounted to 2% of the engine's running life. But now I have read more and also had a quick chat to some one in the know from a point of big named people.. the 420 is sparks eg work all this out and it's infact under 2 seconds at stage 2
being a Turbo they are meant to be much stronger and the chap I spoke to rightly said there is a lot of rubbish on the internet and fact is off the record alot of cars esp Turbo's would have gone into the red.
So the point is, is this a drama or not????????
Also there is a rattle coming from the N/S rear of the engine and when I say rattle it's only there because I can hear it as I am looking for noises it revs freely it drives nice a small list of to do issues. It's got the all important X50 pack
The rattle so I was told was coming from the gear that is on the cam that is secured in place by 3 woodruff keys and it's these keys that are worn and causing the rattle ( please do not think this rattle is heard from like 20 paces you have to have your head in the engine bay ! I may have OCD when a car is this much money ! I am a mear 912 owner you see )
So your views please. Thanks in advance. []
