I wonder if that"s the story on this heavily tracked engine in this CS? Drive hard but don't over stress (and go boom).
Or, just limp over to the geezer home..............

The December 2013 issue of Excellence had a pretty good article about over-revs. It was written from a Porsche UK perspective but you may find it interesting. Unfortunately, it does not appear to be online anywhere.

Hello Brain Trust,
I'm new to the boards and have my first serious conundrum regarding a purchase of a 2011 Cayman S. The seller is a friend of mine and has full dealer service records and has tracked the car ~15-20 HPDE days. Car has 27,300 miles and 593 hours.
We have a deal predicated on the Porsche Dealership PPI report. I just the received the results back and the BIG concern is on the over revs. They look like this:
Range............Ignitions.............Hours...... .........Time (seconds)
1.................50,979.................... 530................ 136
2...................2627......................495. ............... 7
3....................60.........................43 2............... .15
4...................209........................432 ............... .5
5...................170........................432 ............... .35
6....................0............................ .0................ 0
I think I calculated the time correctly, but chime in if you spot an error.
The guys in the service dept. say not to worry because the range 4 & 5 were long ago and the time was very short. This seems to be in direct conflict with the over rev charts I have seen.
Any advise here? My gut tells me to walk.
Thanks in advance,
Randy

BTW, I never do business with family or friends. I don't sell them things, I don't buy things from them, I don't borrow money from them nor do I loan them money.

We a fair number of cars with reports like this, all running fine with lots of hours after the over revs. However, if there are more in the higher ranges, and recently, one needs to be careful.
Cheers
