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.

Not sure what the LN solution costs, but Porsche actually offers a pretty cost effective rebuild option; a short block 3.6L (996-100-996-UX) costs around $6.5k This would give you something close to a new engine presuming your heads are still okay.
Thx Silvergray but the Porsche shortblock is not an option for me. If i rebuild my engine i will do it once....
I'm going from 3.6 to 4.0 just talk to LN they can give you all the Info and all the parts needed
thx Zookie, for now i'm doing some research, what else i need if i take the Nickies. 4.0 is to much for me, i will go max 3.6 to 3.8 and i will do all the rebuild (engine) by myself....
You should consider taking Raby's M96/M97 engine class before you rebuild. Invaluable info is discussed all three days!
thx Bill i*m thinking about to take also a engine class but for now i will know what special parts i need for the Nickies.....

Blasphemy! I think you should try one before you order your Nickies. I love mine.
Subscribed as im'm interested in your journey!
Thx Lucas for now, like i said before, i�m looking just for �special� Parts i need if i go with the 3,6 to 3,8 Nickies! If i�m able to do a rebuild by myself is another thing. thx again
Not many. On top of my head, custom pistons, pins and rings and head gaskets. Just email LN and they will be more than happy to answer these questions.
Ok that is the Info i need :-) The Set of Nickies are complete with Piston and Rings i think???May i would take the gapless rings!? Ahsai you take the custom head gasket from LN or the 3,8 997 one? Thx alot Ahsai
I did my rebuild more than a year ago so parts may have changed. The best is just contact LN and discuss with them.
Thx Ahsai i will contact LN think this is the best way....
