I have done extensive reading on this but it seems this problem is most common in 1999 models with porosity issues.

Yeah, how many miles and what would a good quality repair cost with the LN Eng re-sleeve?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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

How common is a cracked cylinder in 2000 and 2001 models? My engine (which was running) had a check engine light and had excessive pressure build up in the coolant system. After a few months of slowly removing and tearing my engine down, I have confirmed there is a crack in cylinder 2. I have done extensive reading on this but it seems this problem is most common in 1999 models with porosity issues. The good news is my plan is to rebuild engine myself as project!

POST 2Original post

In your case common enough. Bummer. Is the engine a rebuild candidate with a cracked cylinder? There are companies that sleeve these engines. Autofarm and Hartech in the UK and there may be a few companies in the USA that do this too. (Flat6Engineering maybe?) Sincerely, Macster.

POST 3Original post

Sorry about your discovery....the infamous D chunk...

POST 4Original post

We're working on a 2003 with same problem -- same cylinder. customer is using LnEngineering nickies. m

POST 5Original post

its one of those hit or miss things...sorry about the hit - you seem in good spirits and doing it yourself - WTG !

POST 6Original post

LN Engineering is the way to go. Ask about upgrade options, you know while your in there. Oh and get your crank magnafluxed while its out.

POST 8Original post

Yeah, how many miles and what would a good quality repair cost with the LN Eng re-sleeve? I am thinking about looking at a 996 that needs an engine due to D chunck but have to weigh the cost vs benifit.

POST 9Original post

Sorry to hear of your engine problem, hope it all works out for you.

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

about 70k miles on it. The hard part is to decide which components to replace while the engine is out and apart.

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