I wonder about the water pumpers. Who doesnt know they have 'issues'? They have depreciated so much at least in part to the engine issues. I dont think it means a thing to compare a modern water cooled 911 to any previous gen, different animal. Look at the #'s and it seems like a small %. Thing is I know of more than a handful of guys that lost at 1 or more engines. Not abused, ex rental, race cars or whatever. Happens way too much to cars with low miles, avg miles, babied miles... Cant say that about any other make I can think of. They are great fun to drive but how can you be surprised when something happens? Stinks no matter and not something I wish on anyone.
OP - I hope its just a lifter something less than it sounds. Good luck, sorry to hear about your issue.

Thanks -- I'll know soon enough.
Yeah, I used to play the percentage game and think "oh, I have such a small chance of a failure..." but one Porsche owner I know is on her third engine in her Boxster S, and her husband is on his 2nd engine in his 997. We have Brando's experiences here, and the guy who RUNS Planet-9 had an engine failure in his Cayman S. Yes, there are a ton of cars out there that appear to be fine, but the number of failures is mounting...
