Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Common in older 911 models due to aging gaskets and seals, which can cause oil to seep from the engine.

Ims bearing failure

The intermediate shaft (IMS) bearing is a known weak point in older Porsche engines, potentially leading to catastrophic engine failure.

Rms (rear main seal) leaks

This can cause significant oil loss and potential engine damage if not addressed.

Coolant leaks

Aging coolant hoses or radiators may develop leaks, leading to overheating issues.

Valve cover gasket leaks

These can cause oil to leak onto the exhaust system, creating smoke and a burning oil smell.

Cylinder scoring

Wear and tear on the cylinder walls can lead to scoring, causing decreased performance and increased oil consumption.

Timing chain tensioner issues

Worn tensioners can lead to timing chain slack, causing engine noise and potential timing issues.

Spark plug fouling

Carbon buildup on spark plugs due to rich fuel mixtures or oil leaks can cause misfires and poor engine performance.
