We recently pulled the engine from Vu’s 1999 Porsche 996 Carrera because it was time to replace some chain ramp pads. It was the perfect time to inspect it from all angles with Jake Raby of Flat Six Innovations, who shows us the common failure points of these engines, describes symptoms, and what can be done to fix them. This video is not an in-depth how-to DIY, but rather an in-depth resource to help owners and potential owners learn best practices to take care of their engines. This video is presented with the engine from a 1999 996 Carrera, but much of the information can be applied to the 986/987/996/997-gen Boxster/Cayman/911 (1997-2008) with M96 and M97 engines.
