Saw this article recently in another Thread. A very interesting read for those of us who like to delve into some of the technical issues on the 996 engines. Really based on the 3.6/3.8 engines, but also shows some of the differences in the cooling systems between the engines. Give it a read and let me know what you think.

Very interesting, it would be a good data point the see a thermal image of the engine during the test to see the temperature differences between the cylinders under different speeds and loads.

Baz and the guys at Hartech are top class, I'm off to get the low temp thermostat mod fitted next week. 4 hour drive to get there but I'm looking forward to it...

Thanks Darn and fun read for me and did not get into a political fight with porsche. It seems the 3.4 eng was over engineered (not enough fudge factor) by looking at cooling holes. The 3.8 looks like they used larger same size cooling passages.
