Hi
I am having to rebuild a 2006 911 engine following a cylinder 6 failure at 19000 miles ,full service history
Unfortunately Porsche wanted £9400 to replace the engine and after seven attempts to get them to step up to the plate i have been forced to do it myself
I shall be replacing the liners on all 6 cylinders and replacing the already famous intermediate shaft bearing as well as the rear main seal and will be throwing away the crack cap con rods for billet rods
My question is this
when taking down the crank carrier to check the oil contamination and possible effect on the bearings I have found four of the big end bearings to be out of line by about 1mm from new
this is the first time the engine has been stripped and the picture shows one of the con rods as it was taken out in the order it was in the car
I am still gobsmacked and want as much info about this before i go back to porsche
you can see if you look close at the picture the running line of the bearing as it sits in the rod
