Just called my mate and found out that the car has had no suspension mods but is fitted with intermediate tyres (basically raod legal slicks).

David - you are the first one I have run across that actually has first hand experience with an oiling problem.
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.

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone knows of any kits available to cure oil surge problems with 996 motor ( with the "integrated" dry sump).
I am working on a car that was used at a local Porsche Club track day and as a result of oil pressure loss during cornering the no. 6 rod bearing failed, this blocked the oil passage to one of the main bearings and it has subsequently turned a nice shade of blue- not good. And the crankshaft is stuffed due to the failed rod bearing.
Very expensive day and quite disappointing from a Porsche.
Hope somebody can help us,
Thanks in advance
David
David -
There is a kit available from Porsche Motorsport. Apparently it's not available thru dealers, and I couldn't find it at the large sites like Suncoast Motorsport or Carnewal (www.carnewal.com).
Here is a link to a discussion the problem, with a couple brief mentions of the kit:

I hope this wasn't your car? If so, geez that s*cks.
David - you are the first one I have run across that actually has first hand experience with an oiling problem. Can you tell us more about the car (like modifications) and how the failure occurred?
Porsche Motorsport North America or Andial in Anaheim California has the kits. In Australia you should be able to find the parts in the Tequipment Carrera Powerkit parts break down if kit available there. Pictured below is the kit installed on a Carrera Power Kit equipped engine. Note the extra pump behind the right hand exhaust cam with the oil line going to the front of the cam cover (pump kit in right foreground, pump and zig-zag line highlights almost white color parallel to the gray cam cover on bottom). Andial will drill your original cam cover for the installation of the oil line.

WOW!! You guys are real quick!! Thanks a lot for the info.
In regards to the car setup, Suspension, tyres etc. Just called my mate and found out that the car has had no suspension mods but is fitted with intermediate tyres (basically raod legal slicks).
Thanks again
