You can only change the odds of suffering a catastrophic failure. By the time ferrous metal shows up in filters or drain plugs, damage is taking place already. Maybe a major rebuild fixes things; maybe not. As others have said, change the oil regularly and change the IMS when replacing the clutch. This is probably the most cost effective approach. __________________ '87 951 '01S 986 (Sold after 16 years ownership) '78 924 (carburated; sold when moving to CA)
