Default (Yet Another) DME Overrev Thread

Hi all --

Apologies, I know there are many of these types of threads.

I'm looking at a GT3 that has some range 4's about 170 hours ago. (Consistent hours since last for range 1-3).

Any thoughts from the group if this is a car to seriously consider or run away from?

Tough to arm chair it, could be fine but I think you need more data. Spend the money and do compression and leakdown tests to see the health of the engine.

Range 4s that are 170 hours ago are no big deal if everything else checks out.

Just make sure no one else is adding additional 1s and 2s during joy ride sales demos.

I wouldn't run, especially if it's a 997.1
