I will keep it simple because I've kept an eye out on this stuff for 2 years now.

3.2L ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE IMS FAILURES MOST OF THE TIME.

Just ask Chris Zang, Dennis(PPBB) and all the 996(3.4L) owners on rennlist what happened to their engines. IMS failures.

The 2.7L tend to be safe because they don't have the same IMS as 3.2L & 3.4L engines.
