Seen his crap before. Drops in makes an inflammatory statement. Opinions are like assholes everybody got one.
I think that is very troll-like.
Bet his car sounds like a whole basket full of stuck lifters!

Mine spent the first 9 years of it's life in Houston! No cold there. When I got it in 2015 it spent the winters in the garage and never started below 40f. Extreme cold has been considered an issue, but other items have now been id'd too.Groovzilla wrote: ↑Fri Jul 19, 2019 10:18 am Bore Score and 2.5 years ago, there was a friends 997 C4S that underwent BS scoping/etc and it was determined his poor engine was suffering from scored cylinder walls. Engine now rebuilt $20K later
Car grew up in Minnesota and lived dormant in sub 10 degree temps for 12 long winters. These cold temps are a very common denominator on most of the Bore Scored engines. The cold starts are a killer.
Of course this most likely isn't the only reason for BS but it is surely one of the most common. And of course we all have to remember the % of BS engines is quite low and not as much fun to rant and rage about like the IMS discussions
Lesson learned: Buy 996 or 997 that has lived in hot climate. My 2007 997S was born and raised in Palm Beach Florida and I purposely searched for one in either Southern Calif or FL. At 54K miles it doesn't burn a drop of oil between oil changes(3000 mi).

How could I forget! He didn't take criticism of the PCA video productions too well at first, but later agreed I had some valid points about the poor audio quality. Well, his first impression of me as "b3freak" wasn't that great, but I guess that changed because he finally met me in person and realized I wasn't such a douche bag after all and had some talents that he could use in light of the new found popularity of the IMS bearing videos. The rest is history.
