  1. I have a 2005 turbo S that has the 3.6. I have been told that this engine does not hane the IMS bearing problems that the non turbo 3.6 has. Has anyone had a failure. This engine built similar to the original air cooled case has that does not have this problem.. Any input about failure or problems would be helpful.

  2. Thanks for the info.. A lot of work. Not sure if I want to go through all that. May consider using 930 calipers and just modifying the rears to work. I'll post what I'll do. Again thanks for all the info.

  3. Ok ... Here is the long and short of the problem.. I had the distributor converted to a mechanical unit and the co. That did it said they put new parts in it! However it is old used parts. The magnets broke loose and caused an excessive amount of advance and caused pinging, thus caused the pistons to fail between the rings. Catastrophic running engine failure. We took the engine apart and found that 5 out of 6 pistons and cylinders have damage. Next on the addenda pistons and cylinders. I am deciding if to post this distributor rebuilders name on the web and also if I should place an action on him. Doing background info to see what if anything can be done.

    Thanks for all your input..

  4. Yes everything was done correctlY, tha only happened about 750 miles ago. The person that did the heads has done 6 other cars without any problems. I went on the forum as a last result prior to pulling the engine and doing a top tear down.. Any other suggestions?
