Correct, I guess NYoutftr mixed M96 and M97 up as the latter has such an intake.

Check the stats been around here 17 years and like 3 months

And bore scoring is not impossible in the 3.4, but it is relatively unlikely compared with the 3.6/3.8.

All I was saying.

17 year and only 841 posts?!? I bet I can narrow them down to like 3 - 4 threads

Rennlist time is very limited as I spend most of my time since 2018 trolling the Road & Track comment section from their seminal treatise that year titled: “Why The 996 Will Never Ne Collectible!”

I’ve been on this forum fairly regularly since 2014, and the first I’ve seen of you here (at least noticed) is your “what makes the ‘99 so special” thread. So it seems to me like a sudden case of “expert-itis”... And, no you didn’t say bore scoring is “relatively unlikely in the 3.4 compared to the 3.6/3.8”... You said the 3.4 is “as likely to get struck by lightning as to get bore scoring”. That’s quite a bit different - especially to someone who doesn’t have any/much background with these engines... This is all fine as long as the statements in question are presented as opinions as opposed the facts.

With all due respect, lightning strikes many hundreds of people in the US alone every year.

And we have not heard of 3.4 bore scoring incidence anywhere even nearing this frequency (of hundreds per year).

So yes, but perhaps I should have said “struck twice”
