John...doesn't your calculation assume the LN bearing never fails? *NM* Gary in SoFL - Wednesday, 1 December, 2010, at 2:27:06 pm |

Exactly...if there were a reasonable fix, or if the issue was really prevasive, Gary in SoFL - Wednesday, 1 December, 2010, at 4:38:47 pm |
Porsche did fix it. They redesigned the engine to get rid of the pest. That says there's an issue *NM* db997S - Thursday, 2 December, 2010, at 8:35:36 am |
But maybe less of an issue than a timing chain Red_Lightnin! - Thursday, 2 December, 2010, at 10:25:39 am |

The general theory is that part of the problem stems from not driving the car enough. If you look at the posts, the failures tend to be older, very low mileage cars (though not always) and one of the theories is that if you are not running the engine regularly (at least once a week, several hours plus, etc.) the oil drains out and causes the bearing to fail. Just a theory, but this would be consistent with Al's observation.
