What is "Cam Deviation" In the 996 Carrera and 986 Boxster?
Today we discuss what "cam deviation" is and explain what happens when your 5 chain wear pads start failing. You might be watching this because you have found plastic in your oil pan, are experiencing a check engine light, or are just Porsche crazy like us! This only affects the 5 chain M96 engines which can be found in the 98-01 996 Carrera and Carrera 4, and the 1997-1999 Boxster (2.5L), 2000-2002 Boxster base (2.7L), and 2000-2002 Boxster S (3.2L). Contact Rennpart today if you would like an estimate for cam chain wearpad replacement. We are an LN Engineering certified IMS Solution workshop.
