At least the engine died honorably, on the track.

That's how two of my engines met their fate. Hopefully, the third one will live a long normal life.

O dam 😳

On you tube you could add in the description, thats not an finger follower/valvetrain issue

At some point in the near future, any engine that would have blown would have already done so and either been replaced or scrapped. So, the 991.1 GT3 values will follow something similar to the 996 with values dipping and then coming back up before leveling out.

however, given the nostalgia and rarity of the 996 / 997 GT3s, I do think the 991.1 will be the most accessible GT3 from a $$ point of view.

Not so sure about that.

If one considers the failure due to an abnormal wear issue, then it’s not if the failure will occur, rather when. And we know GT cars have a variety of use and mileage variations resulting in many not yet having the wear conditions which would result in a failure.

Do the community a favor and disclose that it’s a bottom end failure and not the systemic valvetrain problem which has faulted thousands of engines. Anybody stumbling on it would rightfully assume that it died like the rest are.

Good news is that Porsche didn’t limit the warranty for just the finger followers.

A new engine should have a warranty of it's own like any other new part that is installed in a certified repair shop. Moreover that is a complex part, more complex like for example a clutch or a suspension strut so it have a larger potential for failure. It has/should have nothing to do with the 10yr warranty IMO.

I imagine they would still warranty it in good faith, but afaik any part replaced under your existing warranty (like CPO for example) by Porsche does not come with their 2 year parts warranty. So if your CPO expired the next day after CPO warranty replacement, your part does not have 2 years remaining. That 2 years is only for parts you pay full price for. Therefore that could occur with the engines too post 10 years, but I really hope not.

So Porsche should warranty the 991.1 engines forever? Seems like what the COG were able to get constituents tremendous good faith by Porsche.

I’m Really Curious like so many other people to see what happens after that 10 year mark. As of right now i have 35k on my F engine and still running. But For those of us that have E or F still. Even after that 10 year mark if that engine Fails it’s going to be a costly one, And I don’t believe your insurance company is going to help either.

No, warranty each replacement engine for a reasonable number of years and miles. A replacement engine shouldn't be defective.

911-140.6

My thoughts exactly !

I have the original F motor with 54k miles and in a perfect world, I would like to keep it as it's done a noble job with all the PO's and myself so far. Just replace the FF's with improved coating and solid lifters whether it be from Dundon in the future or one's from the 991.2.

In the end, I'm so smitten w/ the car that swapping in a 991.2 lump in the future is at least a solve. It's a forever car for me.

COMPLETELY agree!!!
