What are the problems with the 3.6 engines?

Hi all.

What are the problems with the 3.6 engines?
I know the typical wear areas on the 911 engines, cam pitting, valve guide etc.
just wondering why some make a new crankcase, what's up with these and what to look for when rebuild the 3,6.

New aftermarket cases are done because you cant get new cases from Porsche and even a great design can be improved.
