What is the price of the cams and Rockers? A good engine builder can change them and torque them properly and it won't cost you an arm and a leg. Its basically a top end job.

They can call it "setting overly sensitive algorithm to normal", for example. I really hope they won't do it, but after Dieselgate can we really trust?

This was exactly my thinking. With the first E engine failures, the sensors were very sensitive, as they caught the wear early. I have wondered if why the F engines appear more durable isn't due to a "software update" where PAG just dumbs down the sensitivity of the misfire sensor. That way, cars still run, and only the abused ones discover the problem before warranty runs out. Of course, if this is the issue, it is like diesel gate all over again. One can assume if Porsche knew an engine was not running as designed for efficiency and emissions due to the can follower wear, then it is essentially like dieselgate.

They can still claim initial level of sensitiveness was a mistake and new level is OK.

It's not paranoia if pag is really out to get you!

They are still busy finding out where Macca lives.

There's no way in hell anybody with engine knowledge would think that level of follower wear is normal. But to be honest, I have zero doubt Porsche would do the above... and they probably did. I think the difference between the 2 levels boils down to a top-end job vs engine replacement. I don't think it'll be beneficial at the end, just like dieselgate.

LOL! In about the most remote place you can think to live. A rock in the Ocean in the Pacific formerly colonized by France and the UK! Its a long swim from Germany!

Macca,
OT How is everyone doing after 11/2 years since Pam?

Macca

Thanks for asking mate. Especially as your state has just been through similar. Things are largely back to normal here finally. Tourism is still suffering (probably 35% down but has recovered quite a bit since earlier this year). General economy has also taken a fair hit with GDP down at least 40% last 12 months. Most of the damage is repaired now other than a few bridges and roads which are planned to be sorted out in the next 12 months. PAM was a big one, one of the 5 largest storms in the world on record with 180mph winds sustained and 220mph gusting! It was pretty much a direct hit as well and fairly slow moving so the damage was significant in what is already a developing world nation. Death toll was under 100 but possibly more if indirect effects were taken into account. Due largely to the wonderful generosity of people on this board we managed to rebuild from scratch a number of houses in the local village via our charity fund and also provide medical and food/clothes to many more. A little can goe a long way in these places.

I trust yourself and your family survived the storm without issue. We were down your way in June, a lovely part of the world (made it all the way down to Key West). Reminded me a lot of Vanuatu!

Take care

I have an RS scheduled to be delivered last week of the year. Has Porsche improved engine issues continually or have all improvements stopped with G engines; meaning a sep16 delivered RS is same as a dec16 delivered RS?

^I don't think it's known as yet
My bet is after 50+ years of P. continously
Working to improve the 911 ,
Lucky for us they cannot stop TWEAKING IT.

A blessing there were not more fatalities given the magnitude of your storm.
We had no damage on Longboat, but our friends from north of Palm Beach to North Carolina really got hit hard.
Happy Motoring!

My new engine is back in the car today. Sunset fired it up today and took the car for test drive. I am getting the car first thing on Monday. Please see attached pictures of new engine.
