Hi folk.
Iv bought a 998 with a few faults, price was too good to say no and body is completely rot free.
The previous owner has had it for 6 years plus and in that time spent a fortune.
However, some of the things Ive found have been to a poor standard. eg wrongly helicoiled sump. Window runner put on wrong. Some tappets were too tight.
In the large folder of receipts includes valve stem seals 2 years ago.
Its a bit smoky (blue) when first started but also when revved.
Engine oil and coolant are clean.
Compression results are as follows;
1 dry 100
1 bit of oil 110
2 105
2 130
3 105
3 130
4 100
4 130
Ive followed the guides on here so happy with my method.
88k miles so Im satisfied the engine is tired and the results in that respect pretty consistent.
My finger is pointing towards the head, probably valves need lapping or complete refurb.
What are your thoughts?
