I Checked My Engine!

[Brucelee]

For the record:

I never said that these engines "exlode." That phrase was generated by the original poster.

These engines do "fail" primarily due to IMS shaft design flaws. This is actually not in dispute, as it was first brought to my attention by my Porsche service rep. Later the issue got aired out in Panorama. Nothing controversial here.

What IS in dispute is how frequently this happens. I don't see us ever having THAT data, why would we and who would release this data, Porsche?

I closed the thread due to it becoming a pissing contest that could not go anywhere.

Sorry you felt the need to bring it up again and to throw in a cheap shot at me in the bargain. As moderator, I use my best judgement when deciding that things are about to go awry.

Perhaps you will do the same next time around.
