That Porsche will admit to? None. But according to Planet 9 there have been some Caymans with cylinder 6 scoring, leading to loss of power and excessive oil burning. Hartech believes the problem is a redesigned (different from ours) head gasket that provides less coolant to cylinder 6 (the most vulnerable since it is the farthest from the coolant inlet) compounded by the already high coolant temperatures because of the 86 deg. thermostat.
