Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Pardon my ignorance but will a Boxster 2.5/2.7 crankshaft work in 996 3.4 engine? These crankshafts are much cheaper and seem to be identical. Thanks for your the help!

POST 2Original post

Just check the part number when buying a replacement some are interchangeable , if the part number matches your in business, look on the crank there are a few numbers on there but it's the one starting 996 ok

Apprently I can use the crankshaft from a 986 Boxster 2.7 or 3.2 engine for my 996 3.4 engine. Parts are interchangeable! Found the info here in the related threads that appear on mobile!

POST 7Original post

You need the same IMS drive gear design from a similar year, what year is your engine?

POST 8Original post

Looks like your looking at $3.5 k for a crank then you will probably need a different ims and cams to match the crank with the later style chain, you might be better getting a used engine if you can, what about LA dismantlers??

I found the solution. The 2.7 and 3.2 crank from the boxster 986 works with the 3.4 996 engine. Got a perfect polished crank ready to use for $600. Thanks for for everyone's help.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
