Bore Scoring Is A Myth? Blackstone Labs Porsche Data Revealed!
About this episode
Do you want the actual data from the expert that disputes everything you have heard about Bore Scoring? Every forum, Facebook group, and "expert" corner of the internet would have you believe that if you own a water-cooled 911, your engine is a ticking time bomb. I’ve spent countless nights losing sleep over this—so I went straight to the source for the real numbers.
In this episode of ElevenAfterNine, I’m joined by Joe Adams of Blackstone Labs. Joe isn’t guessing; he’s looking at a database of thousands of Porsche engine samples. We break down the actual failure rates for the 996, 997, and 991 generations, and the results are not what you’ve been told.
