This is an area we will be discussing in our meeting with Porsche.

What would be the ballpark cost (hours labor) for this clearance test?
Kudos for the work you've done on this! Thx.
As the design is the same between the E/F/G engines, the only big difference is DLC coating on the cam on the G series (GT3RS and 911R), yes it is likely they too will have troubles, hard to say when though as the DLC coatings are very hard. The wear occurs when no oil film is present, and the current cam/lifter lash (distance between them) squeezes the oil film out...

Hi "A"! Thanks for chiming in!

No action in the past few days. Stalled at 75% of the goal with
$3797.89 in donations from 55 people (many of whom are not owners but supported this worthwhile effort).

The meeting is fast approaching and I'm optimistic that more concerned owners will bridge the gap so we can meet the goal.

So close!

Yes there is, Chris. We have a pretty solid outline and we are working on the presentation.

Hopefully while you are at the meeting my car will survive the day at the track.
