Each one came down to an oiling failure at the crank resulting in a thrown rod and usually a nice hole in the block.
This can only be a result of oil starvation/ low oil pressure.
Also, I think Michael J had one 986 2.7L go and two 3.4L go. |
Bad news, Paul. Maybe you should take the turns slower...
