Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Will winter storage damage the engine on my 996? It's my understanding, that 'garage queen' 996's have IMS bearing failures. I live in high country Colorado, it's not unusual for winter temp to drop down to -20 overnight. I'm really asking, if leaving the car garaged for three months will be a problem? I may be concerned with a problem that doesn't exist, as when I use 'search,' they refer to mice etc...

POST 2Original post

No. If properly maintained, prep'd, and stored. Three months is nothing.

POST 3Original post

Those temps are too cold for the IMS for a prolonged period. Best bet is to remove the IMS and store it inside for the winter.

As long as it�s stored properly, you will be fine. I might store it with a fresh oil change and fill up the tank and put some stabil in it. Don�t let any animals near it, and make sure you don�t have a humidity problem. Overfill the tires, and put a smart battery charger on it.

It's not unusual to have mice eat the wiring of cars left outdoors here in Colorado... A friend had his pickup totaled last year...

I store my CBR over the winter as you describe, other than, I remove the battery and trickle charge without a problem.
