I think people who rub their car with a diaper, drive it 200 miles a year, and mothball it 6 months a year since they only drive in 72F or warmer are more likely to suffer broken head studs. Sad !

The lower/exhaust sides break because the dilivar alloy used was garbage (until the 993TT version) - plenty of instances reported where brand new ones broke upon assembly, which rules out corrosion being the only negative factor.

The cylinders slide into spigots in the crankcase. 4 studs/cylinder, anchored in the case, snake through each cylinder and each cylinder head. The one-piece cam housing then clamps onto the three cylinder/cylinder head assemblies as one structural assembly. So no.
One or several head studs, even if simultaneously breaking, will not allow a cylinder to fall out or shift to any appreciable distance to implode the engine. This is not to say the engine cannot self-grenade. That requires other major component failure to occur. I’ll leave that scenario to your follow up question. Sherwood |
