Apart from the GT3 , Turbo and 4.5L engines, all the otherīs are far from reliable, Iīm talking with first hand experience.
Had a blown out engine on my 2.5L Boxster back in 2000, and a blown out engine with my 3.4L 996 Carrera with only 30K miles on the clock in 2003.
There is well known RMS failure problem ever since 1997 in those engines that lead to many blown engine thrue out the years. Only the engine from the GT3 and Turbo which have the base of the old air-cooled engines are the real bullet proof Porsche engines, thatīs why they donīt use the M96/M97 engines that are running in all Carreras and Boxster , on their top of the line model the GT3 and the 911 turbo, those Carrera engine were not made to receive forced induction, they are to weak for that.

These are the engine I am talking about, the H2o pumpers from Porsche are not in the class of best 6 cylinder every built. 2.7 had some case issues, the 3.0 and 3.2 were in the class of the BMW M50's in reliability and miles you could get out of them. I am open to hear other contenders. Some say the early Dodge slant 6 might be the best, some have claimed BMW stole the design.
911 incl S,Carr 1974 -1977 2.7 6 CIS Injection
911 (SC) 1978 -1983 3.0 6 CIS Injection
911 (Carrera) 1984 -1989 3.2 6 DME Injection
