I've got 75K on my 987. I'll take up you on that offer at some point! Maybe next summer :-) By then is would have 85-90 on it. That is unless it blows up catastrophically before then. I'll just try not to rev it to 9K any more

But seriously, my 944 had 200K when I tore the motor down for the first time in its life and the bearings were worn a little, rings were still sealing well, and the lifters were fine. Compression was actually higher than stock from all the carbon build up.

60K seems low for these motors to be blowing up, and I would be very interested in seeing how much wear is present in my motor.

And if lifters are bad, then I would feel better knowing that things have been repaired.
