Re: Bore Scoring! Who knows for whom the bell tolls...

I remember seeing information about the IMS bearing situation for years, but is the bore-scoring problem something that was recently discovered? Or have I been under that virtual rock on that topic?

Interesting. Basically, most any product will work - so much comes down to personal preference. This vid was pretty objective overall. Well done

Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?

The snow started today, along with the city laying down enough salt to replicate Bonneville, so no Saturday drive to the Porsche Club breakfast tomorrow.

Re: Porsche Classic Motor Oils?

Since I had the LN Engineering IMS thing done, I've opted to try their Driven DT-40 oil that is allegedly forumulated for the M96 motor. I have a case sitting on the shelf....waiting for the weather to warm up. :)

Re: Craigslist, ebay, Amazon and other online finds

Hope not [ those $6K headlights]. That price would represent a good portion of the overall value of even a pristine 996.
