[QUOTE="Hondabro, post: 220799, member: 4921"] I am friends with the local Porsche repair/parts shop. I learned that these machines use a lot of magnesium in their mechanical parts. I also learned since that light weight material is used it will leak oil, so if you plan on owning one, be prepped. to have some kitty litter under your engine. Ja.ja! Next any engine displacement under 3 liters will "cause" cylinder jug studs to "stretch" and in some cases snap, with out proper warm up, or just old age. I learned, yeup theres more, the cam chain tensioners that are non-hydrollic ,<sp, will cause issues that will cost money, essentially any 911 that you may buy, will be a $30,000 car, even if you find one for $10,000, because that's how much it will cost to get it running right. But wait theres more, some of the stock clutches have a rubber hockey puck vibro-dampner on its cluctch, and if it snaps or breaks, it could trash out your clutch assembly. On the bright side, its a cool car, with lots o' torque..... [/QUOTE]
