Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

A good friend is thinking about moving from the 930 series to a 997S; 07 model with about 50K. Nice condition, 2 owners, no over revs on the PPI or track use. What did show up was some dampness around the IMS flange--no drips, just a bit of seepage. No reports of a cam deviation test. Questions: Anything to look for on this particular model? Weak points? Insist on a cam deviation test? Are these models affect less by IMS failures than the 987 platform? This car would see extensive DE use if purchased. Thanks for any help.

997.1's (2005-2008) can be affected by IMS. Seems to happen more in 2005's. If you friend is going to use this as a track car, he could buy a 996 GT3 for the same money and not worry about IMS and have a much better track car.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
