My recollection is that his G6 failure was a bottom end issue, so not related to the more systemic finger follower issue of the earlier E/F/G0 motors.

Bottom end failures are rare but exist on any engine. I recall of some bearing issues on 2 or 3 .2 4.0 and one or two .1 4.0 Normally these failurs happen in the first 10k miles or less as its allways a material or prouction issue. No systematic problem.
Typically, the valvetrain issue is when the CEL comes up and a bottom end issue is when the engine rips itself apart![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

I'm still not sure why you find it necessary

This is already a nuanced topic and your routine insistence to drop a grenade in the room and walk away is strange at best. At bare minimum you could mention the cause of the failure, but it's intentional that you avoid it because you want attention.
Fortunately there's people here that are quick to catch it before bad information spreads.

Your bottom end failure on track is not remotely relevant when we're talking about a design error that impacts every single 991.1 owner.

If the problem was isolated to the ff issue, one might think that fixing that issue would make this a reliable engine. But failure of the engine in another failure mode after so few miles suggests that the problem isn't isolated to the ff. I don't know how many of the G6 engines have failed in failure modes other than ff, but I doubt that I was so unlucky that mine was the only one.

The FF issue is clearly a design flaw and a very top of mind issue of many owners and prospective buyers with varied levels of understanding (as evidenced by the countless threads on the topic). Chiming in on each thread that you had a G6 fail without critical context is irresponsible at best.

This is the detail you always conveniently fail to call out until another user provides context.

For me it very much matters what failure it was!
All the G6 failures boil down to two cases and two out of two are manufacturing/material issues in production and are nothing anyone needs to worry about.
Dropping "my G6 failed" multiple times without context just gives a wrong impression.

In your case while the G engine bottom end failure is unfortunate, leaving out what failed wrongly leads most people to assume it failed due to a finger follower issue.
