Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The 1987 Porsche 911 is known for oil leaks, particularly from the camshaft oil lines, valve covers, and oil return tubes.

Valve guide wear

Over time, the valve guides can wear out, leading to increased oil consumption and smoke from the exhaust.

Chain tensioners

The timing chain tensioners in this model can fail, which may result in a rattling noise and potential engine damage if not addressed.

Airbox explosions

Backfires in the intake system can cause the airbox to explode, often due to issues with the fuel injection system or ignition timing.

Clutch wear

The clutch can wear out relatively quickly, especially if the car is driven hard, leading to difficulty in shifting gears.

Rust

Although less common than in older models, the 1987 911 can still suffer from rust, particularly in the floor pans, underbody, and around the windshield.

Electrical issues

Problems with the electrical system, such as faulty alternators, battery drains, and corroded connections, can occur.

Suspension wear

Components of the suspension system, like bushings, shocks, and struts, can wear out, affecting the handling and ride quality.
