well done .. congrats you have her back.. now get some snows ...

 

Photo's I took this weekend

 

excellent!!! now we have to Canadian Engines built by MB Motors

 

That looks like an X51 engine. On the 996 3.6l it's worth another 20hp, but the torque curve is similar to the GT3 engine.
Heads and intake are off the GT3. Intakes are magnesium s opposed to composite.

Here's a picture of mine before going into my car.

 

Did they move ?

I'm building a m96 now for a 6Carrera, short blocks from Porsche are a good route

 

How much was the short block?

 

Retail is ~$8800 IIRC

 

That's with core exchange?

 

Yes that's net,core is additional $6xxx for a 3.4

 

Were you lucky enough that they accepted your core?

 

Don't suspect any issue there, is a known d-chunk/cylinder failure... short block is new not reman... think core charge is a strategic business move..

 

Porsche is not asking for a rebuildable/usable core anymore? Just any core will do? Wasn't like this before.

 

doesn't seem to be the case anymore, at least not for me

 

I have a rebuildable 3.8 engine with 60,000 klms from 2006 Carrera if any one Is the interested.
Removed because of over rev. was running when removed with good oil pressure and temp.
No over heating. It Is complete with flywheel and clutch.
I have a low quality bore scope and does not appear to have scored cylinders.
Suspect bent Valves. I have only looked at a couple of cylinders as camera quit.
Have a new bore scope coming and will look at rest of cylinders.
If interested PM me.
