Only £260 to put that right and alloys usually need refurbing at some point. Very, very, very minor detail compared to the engine work most don't have.
Yep, agree with this.

It was a general comment about the wheels not the car for sale and it been a negative about the car.

Nice car, had all the big stuff done. Good price.
FYI, I paid £25k 3 year ago for a Hartech repaired C2S on 93,000 miles. Now on 103,000 not missed a beat. _________________ LR75

Not true on either count.
I pass no judgement on who does the better rebuilds, but they are very different rebuilds. Neither Hartech nor Autofarm offer everything that the other offers.
Baz from Hartech provides a lot of use info. Only cranks would think he sits around intending to scare people. In reality, he bites his tongue an awful lot. _________________ 2006 Cayman S

Yes and no.
I've been wanting a 911 for years so started reading up on them a bit and each time I found an excuse not to get one, kids too small, kids little bit bigger, bore scoring, ims exploding blah blah blah.
I said to myself when I sell this car I'm getting one, so that's gone and I'm hopefully picking one up Sunday. The kids will like it or lump it, I do have a family so it's not too bad but if I want to get use of of it the kids have to fit.
I decided to look for one with a hartech rebuild as I'm a bit of a stress head and it might of played on my mind. I'm very mechanical sympathetic though so it wouldn't be driver error.

You must remember the major rule of thumb:
1. don't go above 3k rpm until oil fully up to temp. (not water temp. gauge) - no gauge but when it's up to temp. pressure gauge is around 1 - 1.5 bar at tickover,
2. No sudden change of driving that may create sudden thermal damage to the right hand block - traffic light GPs when it's been sat idling for minutes, etc.
and most importantly:
3. Once up at temp and everything's pumping round as it should be..........drive it like you ****ing pants are on fire!!!!!!!!
DO NOT drive these cars like Miss Daisy, labouring the engine, tootling around in high gears under 2k rpm. They're designed to perform between 4k - 7k rpm, nothing less!!!!!
Follow these basic rules and fall in love with the best car you've ever owned _________________ 2000 Manual 996 C4 Arctic Silver Convertible

Thrashing a cold engine is obviously not a good thing in general, but I don't think it's a factor for bore scoring.
It almost always happens to the one particular side of the engine - the one with more cooling issues. If thrashing a cold engine was a significant factor in bore scoring, you'd see a much more even distribution of scoring on both banks rather than it almost always being the hotter bank and indeed the hotter cylinders on that side of the engine. _________________ 2006 Cayman S

The cooling on bank 2 is not as efficient as bank 1. Therefore, creating a dramatic change in temp. Eg. Thrashing when cold, will create bank 2 to overheat and score. _________________ 2000 Manual 996 C4 Arctic Silver Convertible

Some of the very few gen 2 engines with damage have been attributed to thrashing when cold .. the piston heats up faster than the liner causeing patrial seizure due to expansion rates of both piston and liner .
Not going to comment on Gen 1 .

In my earlier post I disagreed that "all engine builders are the same".
This season in the top 3 UK racing Championships for road based M96/7 cars those with Hartech engines to our standard specifications and built by us have won all 3.
BRSCC Boxster Championship - Won, PCGB class 1 and 2 Championship - Won, PCGB overall Championship Won, Team event Won.
All engines lasted the whole season with one winter rebuild providing power, performance and reliability and most of the other Podium places were with our engines built by us or built to our specification with our parts built by others.
That is some record - and hopefully fully answers the previous claims - enough said.
To answer a couple of recent comments - Bank 2 has the thrust face of the piston on the top and bank 1 on the bottom. From cold the oil has dripped off the top of both pistons leaving bank 2 more dry on start-up. also the coolant enters both blocks at the bottom. There is limited flow and it flows slowly up the cylinders - so bank 2 always has the top of the piston thrust face hotter than the thrust face of the pistons in bank 1 since the coolest coolant hits the thrust face of bank 1 pistons first and bank 2 pistons last and this is a differential in the oil temperature and the oil film thickness that results that helps prevent loose silicon particles digging into the piston and cylinder bore.
Low revs with high power or torque present the greatest piston face loads on the cylinder bore - higher revs do not so Alex is right -- refrain from high power from cold but when hot use revs and enjoy it.
Gen 1 piston scoring is caused by silicon particles release from the cylinder matrix attacking one side of the piston on the thrust face. Gen 2 scoring is caused by seizures on both sides of the piston because it has expanded more than the bore from cold influenced by tighter build bore clearances and some shrinkage of the cylinder bores in some engines in the thrust direction (where the piston is biggest) over long periods of time
