1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Targa and the owner said that the car leaked oil and he hasn't done a reseal job to stop the oil leak.
Anyone have the answer?Reseal oil job for a 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Targa?
Whoa! Stay away from this car! They had MAJOR cylinder head sealing problems! No C2 until 1992, please.
If you MUST have this car, have it checked thoroughly by a qualified Porsche shop. If your car has this known problem, it will cost you an engine disassembly. Not cheap!
Check the build date in the door jamb. If the car was built before June 1991, you have one of the turkeys, definitely.Reseal oil job for a 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Targa?
A reseal on the engine will be costly (in the thousands $$). This is common on the C2/C4 911's, they all leak in a few areas, but only a drop or two. If its leaking much more than this, then yes, its time for a reseal. Talk to the owner some more and try to get more detailed information about how much the engine leaks and if a Porsche dealer told him its time for a reseal. In any case I would take this car BEFORE you buy to a Porsche dealer and have them check out the leaks, as well as do a PPI (pre purchase inspection) on the car. Good luck, watch for a good porsche and they are worth it : )
Whenever you buy a used car take it to a mechanic to see whats wrong. First rule in owning a Porsche is that it's not cheep to fix.
On a side note I'll never understand why people call your Porsche a 911 when it's a 964
