Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Leading evidence: 'other way around' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'other way around' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace anything' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Btw, I'm double row 2001 if that changes anything.

I have a perfect running 1999 3.4 engine from my porsche with a cracked liner(needs a new set of cases).

Some "Rebuilders" give more for cores because they use more of the engine internals than we do..
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.

I have a perfect running 1999 3.4 engine from my porsche with a cracked liner(needs a new set of cases).
What is the value on a motor to sell outright like this? Its a good motor, just needs a block though.
Anyways, what would be a good starting price for something like this and are there places that buy engines like this I should contact?
Thanks
We buy broken cores but have a good supply of them.. They don't fetch much, especially with a terminal crankcase condition.
Some "Rebuilders" give more for cores because they use more of the engine internals than we do.. We throw about 90 pounds of internals away out of every engine.
Give me an offer, it has 60k on it... or do you have a good block from a rod knock motor laying around youd sell me?
Id like to just swap internals to a new block and toss it back into the car.
A good early 3.4 block really doesn't exist.. All the ones we have are just like all the rest, oval bores with a ton of taper in them that'll never seal a ring package back up again.
I have probably experienced two blocks that were worth swapping internals into over the past 5 years, but the longevity of such an expenditure of time wouldn't be worth the effort.

and we can make you an offer for it.
