Perhaps this is an inappropriate question for this thread--and if so, I'll gladly delete it--but curious to know what precipitates the need for a top-end rebuild on a car with less than 50k miles.
Great-looking car, BTW.

No worries....I'm sure there will better answers to this question than I can provide but the 993 model had valve guides that were soft and wore out prematurely. This caused excess oil consumption, SAI issues and inability to pass smog testing. It is a known flaw and some may care about it more than others...just something I considerd when purchasing. As far as mileage, I believe the issue ran the gamut of happening early in life, later in life or not at all.
