911SLOW

Catastrophic engine failure in a GT3 from a leaking RMS?
Aftermarket retrofit for RMS?

Are you confusing it with something else?
*I am thinking 996 IMS issues..

Touche. I wasn't confused, simply, misread your original post. Please accept my apology.

I was speaking of the IMS issue and how Porsche has NEVER owned up to the problem. I believe that this will be the same case for the center lock (call me a conspiracy theorist).

I love a good conspiracy theory, although the CL issue looks more like a stupid mistake than anything else..

Perhaps they will "solve" this one by offering a no-cost option for 5L in the 991 series.

Usually "mistakes" cost those that make the mistake LOL!

BTW, love the new avatar - Lost in Translation is one of my top ten films

And in all fairness, the bottom of my case is dry as a cork and looks brand new with 13K miles..

Also remember Porsche tells you NOT to use an impact wrench on your street center lock

deputydog95

That's because you have team orbit wiping it down after every track day

They look just like street CL's to me!

Street hubs on a street car! Well prepped of course!

The street CLs aren't incompatible with power tools per se. The inconvenient truth is that porsche has no way of specifying the force settings used by the masses from around the world, so they opted for an outright ban on impact/power tools in hopes that'll avoid donkey-natured damages and subsequent warranty costs. How do you think the CLs are torqued in Zuffenhausen? By an army of strong-armed Germans with ze tork venchez?

Dropping off my car tomorrow, we will see if they just replace wheel bolts or more. I bet just bolts as everything else looks perfect.

...and you probably have more track days on Center Lock's than anyone on this forum...and zero issues too....hummmm
