Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Porsche engine problem

[A.J. (newgent2tx]

Yeah, the IMS issue has been a known problem for a few years now on the M96 (996) and to a lesser extent M97 (997) engines for quite a while now. Porsche seriously mismanaged it, and has lost a lot of loyal customers from it. When I bought my 997 (yes, I'm now a P-bug owner) I made the dealership tear apart the engine and replace the IMS as a preventative measure before I bought it.

Have any of you out there been hearing of the Porsche engine problems ?

There was a full page article on it in Autoweek how Porsche has been ducking the issue for 10 yrs !

It's big shit among the dreaded P car guys

Hello - open letter -

 

*       WHAT - Looking for a virginal 1978 308 GTS

 

*       WHY - to take detail pictures of the blacked out paint details &
paint my car correctly

o   My 308 is all apart for painting now. 

o   Was disassembled and painted two times before. 

o   Oh boy - what's really correct?

 

*       WHERE - within 100 miles of Thousand Oaks, CA  (Los Angeles area)

 

*       COLOR - Rossa Corsa would be nice but I'll be happy with any
unmolested '78 308 GTS.

 

*       HOW SOON? - asap

 

Thanks

 

DOUG
