Is bore scoring a risk for Philadelphia Boxster/Cayman 987 owners?

Bore scoring affects some 987 Boxster and Cayman engines, particularly the 2.7L and 3.4L variants. We inspect cylinders with a borescope during major service. If found early, LN Engineering cylinder solutions can address the issue. Philadelphia 987 owners benefit from combining IMS bearing replacement with bore inspection during the same engine-out service—addressing both risks at once.
