Do you know the oil change history? And what yr is the J4S? How many miles did you put on?

Inquiring minds (along with someone who owns 2 987s) want to know.

Is it too early to know if Jake can save the patient or did too much debris circulate thru the arteries?

Husker, It's a 2006 911 4S. I don't know the oil change history prior to purchasing the car, but I change the oil with Red Line 10W40 every 3000 miles. I have put almost 30K miles on it in the 3 years of ownership.

Jake is investigating... He really wants to know what caused the failure. He mentioned today that it could have been a tensioner. I will let you know what he finds.

I can be more than sympathetic as the owner of an 06 C4S (Tip). Had you looked at the cam deviation anytime in the recent past?

I do hope you are able to resolve this in a positive way.

I'm sure the deviation might have shown something but I had not looked at that for a few months. Obviously not something I would look at every month.

We will resolve this issue in a positive way. Jake and I are coordinating the build of my new engine. Money will not be a factor in the build of my new, stage 1, Performer, engine.
