Read evidence and context
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.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Suggestion
Daz, the GT2/3 engines don't have the same problem as they use different blocks (I think its the GT1 block with originate from 964/993 blocks).
Leading evidence: 'Use different blocks (i think its the gt1 block' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use different blocks (i think its the gt1 block' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

Just a question to those who have really investigate the RMS problem...
Let's say that your car (996) is two years old has around 18,000km and has never had any RMS issues before. Considering the above is it correct to assume that this engine will never suffer RMS ?
Appreciate your advice

I'll leave it to the other guys to correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there are any hard and fast rules to guarantee that a 996 will be safe from these issues during its lifetime.

Mine is 3 years old and 21k miles, and has just suffered its first failure.
From the extensive reading on the matter over the last couple of days, it could be the first of many.

i heard mention that if it reached 60k+ miles and wasn't an issue it would unlikey be one in the future...........could be waffle tho

On a personal level it has put me right off the car, as it isnt solved by replacement of the seal.
It only stops it for 1000 - 40000 miles.
I am now seriously considering going back to a 993C2 with a moded head from Ninemister and moded suspension/brakes or possibly a 993 RS or a 964RS.
Not sure at the moment, but I am dissapointed, I dont want to be looking over my garage floor for bloody oil leaks all the time from a £50k car.

Daz, the GT2/3 engines don't have the same problem as they use different blocks (I think its the GT1 block with originate from 964/993 blocks).
So there's another reason to go for a GT3!

ok i'm a parrot
seriously tho Daz............my 993 has a bit of a weep from what appears to be its RMS......the service manager at the local OPC told me not to worry too much about and keep a check on the level........whn it needs a new clutch just attend to it then

Sorry to hear about your misfortune Daz, but I thought the GT2's, 3's, & turbo's were immune or was it just a lot less likely to have it happen?
Seems Henry wants 65k for the GT2 by the way.
