Have you re-build your 964 turbo engine?
There was a discussion in another thread about milage and when to re-build.
Would be interesting to know when owners re-build there 964 turbo engines.
I have no definition of a re-build, but for the purpose of this poll, lets say removing the top and changing/fixing something is enough to call it a "re-build".
My current milage is about 69K miles.
The last 4-5 years I tracked the car a lot.
My leak-down numbers are good but engine consumes a lot of oil.
A suspect my valve guides are worn, my plan is to (at least) do a top-end re-build next winter.

Wow inyourface thats pretty good. I have 139900 on mine, it runs great but it makes me uneasy because im scared that one day it will just die on me. But at the same time it would be very exciting for me to rebuild the engine myself and i am looking forward to doing that one day.

So is this David? I thought you had a modified turbo? You are listed as a sponsor but does not show up under the listing of sponsors.

Anthony, about 0.5 - 1 litre every second full tank of gas during normal driving (not track).
A couple of years ago I did a long drive (1K mile) together with another 964 turbo owner and my engine consumed a lot more oil than his.
I looked at the valve guides on a friends 964 turbo with less miles on the track and they where pretty worn on the exhaust sides. Not really worried about a failure, but it's time to take care of it I think.

Let us know how it turns out.
