Oh yes,...

We've had issues ranging from loose head nuts to loss of head sealing between the top and bottom row of studs from excessive clamping when very hot.

Porsche REALLY put a lot of engineering into the Dilavars and the late 993TT ones are bulletproof. Head torque and clamping stays uniform from cold to hot (even on Turbo motors that can see 450 deg head temps).
