For reference, the car was shipped over from Israel to be fixed (2 years ago). They also had one over this Summer having the engine done, a 3.8S.
Might be wise to not tell others they are telling lies without evidence/data to back it up and then reply with a blarant lie (I have backed up with evidence).
You said they will ALL get bore score, I don't think that's a fact, if you could prove it then I'd stop challenging it because I like facts.
Nothing you or I post on here will change what actually happens in real life.
(and for me this is all light hearted debate on a forum)
I asked around all the people I could in all the countries I could and they all said they hadn't seen it, so that was my evidence at that point.
Now you've introduced two examples, so I'm corrected, I'm fine with that, it's how we work as engineers to gather evidence and then adjust our thesis or plan accordingly when we get proved wrong/right.
If we were to continue then I'd want specific details about these two failures but I'm not inclined to get into a tennis match over it because I haven't really got any skin in the game. I also bought my 997
expecting it to fail, I still do expect it to fail, there is definitely a significant problem with these engines and I've got a plan for that, but this doesn't mean that I'm going to accept your blanket statement that they
will all fail, I don't think all of them will fail based on what I've seen.
Maybe I'm a pedant, I just don't like internet 'facts' on forums unless they are actual facts and not just bro-science that get repeated enough times for people to take them as facts.
Baz won't remember this but I had a conversation with him and I challenged his views, which he seemed perfectly fine with because he could back up why he thought the way he did. I've never met a real engineer that got upset at being challenged properly.
I think there is definitely an issue with the 996/7 engines, I think it's likely to affect a significant amount of them, but probably not all of them.
I like Baz a lot and my end game for my 997 is for him to do the latest upgrade, so I think he's probably right about a lot of things.
But until I see data that convinces me then I'm not in a position to agree that all of these things will get bore score.
You seem like you're really switched on and pretty handy, which to be honest is why I'm pushing it, I wouldn't have expected someone like you to come out with an absolute unless it was actually an absolute.
