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.

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

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

this is my story....my original engine on my 996, piston number one failed due to a previous intermix , I think the oil pump didn't supply enough oil and it started knocking . so instead of buying another engine I decided to buy another Porsche 996 at the auction with collision .so I could put that engine on my Porsche and part out the rest of the vehicle ... so I did ..I found a 2001 911 and bought it for $3500. I was so happy just selling the trans and the rest of the front clip I would get my money back . by these time I had opened my engine separate everything just to learn how Porsche build this magnificent engine , when my friend and I pull the engine of the wrecked Porsche we found out the engine is broken from the head and block. . now I had two bad engines lol , but he decided to build one engine out of the two . we are changing the internal from the wrecked 996 to my block and my heads . all the parts looks good I just need some tips to put the engine together . thank you ,I hope this forum will guide me to build my engine back . any tips will help me a lot .
