I have 2.7 that I just replaced the chain ramps adn the lifters as well as the cams look like brand new - car has now 299.750 km with a great service history and frequent oil changes (all receipts at hand).
Last three years I have also raced it on local Porsche Racing Club.

Never heard of this kind issue, but maybe that problem (and many others) will come if the engine has not been looked after and oil has not been changed frequently.
