Even my Ford Ranger is only 220k...

This was at 12/17/13 of last year but I'm not at 260k yet...

:dance:

Pretty remarkable testament to the rare M96 durability...my 02 S has less than 10% of those mileages!

Had much problems with the engine?

bloody hell... this is pretty amazing. According to the legend you must have changed the IMS bearing what, seven times now?

HolmaN Had much problems with the engine?

No problems with the engine... I have replaced the water pump twice and AOS four times. I have no idea how many oil changes, ~ 40 times.


Nine8Six bloody hell... this is pretty amazing. According to the legend you must have changed the IMS bearing what, seven times now?

No, just twice, both with LNE bearing (single row).

Absolutely brilliant. Thanks for sharing this.... Sounds good to me

I guess they don't make them like they use to! :)

I decided to pull the trans as there was a oil leak at the rear of the motor....

My Cayman just turned 20K mi today. Do I get 1/10 of a membership?

Will be putting some miles on her in June when I drive out to Porsche Parade.

Looks like you caught it in-time... Or maybe just a little late since there is some metal shavings on the end of the bearing assembly.

Yep, That's what I was thinking.

43,300 today...on my 1998

160,xxx miles.. Almost there :/

I just saw a ad in craigslist for a 98...

324k miles!!!


How many in the 300k club???

these posts always make me wonder what floridabill's up to. (pic was from 2012 on a 2000 S) and he had no clue what an IMS was.

That's because he drives it every day, year round, and obviously on trips long enough to burn off all the stuff you don't want hanging around in there. Unfortunately most people drive the complete opposite... once in a blue moon, only when the weather is mild and on trips where the oil doesn't have enough time to get up to temp..probably less than 20 minutes.
I don't think it was engineered to do the latter.

I feel woefully inadequate - engine failed (hydraulic lifter) at 136,000 with 89 track days.

Guess my engine was built by a hung-over mechanic on a Monday morning during Oktoberfest. :)

All of that metal has been circlulating through your bearings. Not good.
