Hi,

I have a 2003 996 C4S and have just been advised that there is some oil in a cylinder sleeve and that the sleeve has grooves in it seen via a camera. The cylinder is misfiring and the "check engine light" is coming on. There is a metallic tapping sound coming out of the bottom of the car! The car has had the RMS and gearbox replaced 5 years ago. I have asked the dealer if this is all related to the IMS, they cant tell me. I am in Australia. What are your thoughts on this please?

Sounds like metal got in there or the sleeve failed. Time for a new engine either way.
