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.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does anyone have any information on the engine blocks in production in 1998 that went into the 1999 porsche 996? I was told by an rebuild tech that when he takes apart the heads many of the engine sleeves sink into the blocks because they were all casted together to save $and the casting process was changed causing air bubbles to weaken the block He said 50% of the 1998 production engines have problems. I need a replacement because my intermideate shaft is broken and the engine needs to be split apart to fix. So I have and have 2 choices. 1.) remanufactured from porsche with 2 year warranty $7,250 2.) used engine with 9,000miles has a small 2 inch break on the corner of the oil pan can be repaired for $200.00. My repair shop serviced this engine from new so we know the owner and history. He was covered by his insurance so they gave him a new replacement at no charge. We are offering $3,500 for it. Any information would be helpful..
