Flat 6 Innovations saved my motor

It's the common engine failure on 2.5L right?

Just so I don't need to worry, mine is 2.7L from 2002.

No, the common failure on the 2.5 is the slipped sleeve issue. Your car, like mine, is supseptible to the IMS problem that he speaks of. Whether it happens or not, who knows.

All M96 engines are susceptible to IMS failures, but this is not a common experience.

Go to www.flat6innovations.com and www.lnengineering.com to read about the IMS and the retrofits...Jake and Charles have invested considerable time and money into solutions to Porsche's cost cutting issues.

We applaud them for their expertise and contribution to the Porsche community.

I recommend Charles' oil test kit so that our oil analysis goes to further their research and to get some peace of mind. Price discounted when you buy oil there as I do.

Jake might have the same one.
