RMS rear main seal
IMS intermediate shafts
This stuff has been bantered about on RennList for years. Best I can sort out is the 996, the first water cooled 911 did have problems with RMS failure causing the IMS to basically grenade the engine.
The 997.1 (2005-2008) had a beefed up RMS installed (except for some early 2005 cars) In my mind it was kind of an acknowledgement that the "seal" was under engineered. The result was far better IMS protection, however there were still reports of some
failures.
The 997.2 cars (2009-2012) they eliminated the IMS with a new engine design. Problem solved!
( again, however it's evidence that Porsche was aware of a problem)
I've owned a 997 for 3 years now and I chose it over a 550. apologies to the F-List.
So far I'm very happy with the decision.
The 550: hey its a Ferrari! What's not to like.
The Porsche: quick, precise... just more fun, top down in the summer doesn't hurt either.
I chose the Porsche.
Ken, who still very much likes

Rear main seal or something?

Larry, the IMS failures are what we're talking
about.

Yep. Porsche replaced a lot of 911 and Boxster engines in the early '00s - it's a pretty well documented problem. I had thought my Oil Analysis testing might help but evidently the failure and happen quickly with little or no warning. The German auto industry had problems in the 90s and are still fighting the results. Mercedes made cares with paint falling off, wiring that self-destructed and diesel engines that had the #1 cylinder become oval.
With Porsche, there's an additional engine problem with the IMS failures but I can't recall it at the moment --
