It does. And the 996 suffers bore scoring.
The first 3.4 996s are most likely to have the bearing fail and least likely to score.
The gen 1 997s are most likely to suffer bore scoring and least likely to have the bearing fail.It's like a fun game of chequebook Russian roulette.
Gen 2 997s are more-or-less safe, but basically all this is a good excuse to get a Turbo, GT3 or GT2 which have different engines that don't have the issues.
Hefty

Thought the IMS issue extended through to 997 Gen 1's too?
