Found this on the 996 forum : https://rennlist.com/forums/996-forum/438205-new-m96-motor-in-997-mk-ii.html
It has a link to a rather unique online magazine article which has embedded video on some of its pages. The one video I think its pretty cool to watch is on page 3, where Porsche test their new engine.

Sounds like Porsche in incorporating some neat new technologies in the "Gen II" 997.

That was wicked... Thanks.

1 thing that concerns me is that they mention there is 40% less parts to assemble on the motor... I cant imagine what your doing to have to do when you have to fix something.... the 996 motors were already hard to work with. I guess they just want you to replace the motor like on the 996's

Very cool. The engine stand actually simulates the engine G loads on the Nurburgring track. You can see the diagram of the circuit on the simulator and the G loads the engine takes. I'm sure they can load different tracks on the simulator.

I guess they want to make sure that there is no oil starvation or foaming with this new engine case design as it happened with the 996.

Great article! Thanks for posting it.

I think I like this new car...it seems to be a nudge ever closer to our beloved 993s.

wow, they imply the oil system of this new block is not only as good as our beloved gt dry sump but perhaps BETTER !!

10-15% more power and 10-15% better efficiency sound good to me
on the other hand, with 40% fewer parts, definitely continues trend of replacement rather than repair.
