This ^^^ is not accurate - all of the 911/911 Turbo engines (other than the 993TT) with dilivar studs are very susceptible to head stud breakage (not just the 3.0 engines).
Dilivar is a ridiculously delicate, basically garbage alloy that begins to fracture at the slightest hint of corrosion - hard to understand why Porsche insisted on using it for so long despite tremendous evidence of failure.
PS - don't fall for the "engine x,y, or z is bulletproof" bullshart that is so common to hear/read - total malarkey!
