Must've been a 968 crank since it has auto flywheel.


If someone is willing to go look at it, buy it on my behalf (if it is a 3.0 crank) and ship to me, I will pay you for your time..

I contacted the seller to come look at it, fairly local for me.

Those pistons look very 2.5 to me.

That's a 2.5, the pistons only have 2 valve cutouts.

That's why I tag my parts with year, model, mileage, and sometimes even a description. Sometimes I stop and ask myself "what, am I expecting to go senile? I know what this friggin' part is!" But I have gone looking for a part, and picked something up, saying "what the hell is this? <reads label> Oh yeah!!!"
