Yes Porsche is running out of engines , they did not anticipate so many failures, they were all used in warranty cars. The 2.5s are gone, early IMS shafts are gone because there are two styles of timing chains used in the engine, you can't get the old style anymore.

Auto Manufacturers have to supply replacement parts for 7 years minimum & all 986s are past that plus the IMSB lawsuit has been settled.
