My GT3 Cup engine is pretty whipped, with nearly a 38% leak down on all 6-cylinders. Deciding it was time for open heart surgery, I took her in for a "Pre Build Dyno" and the old girl only had 303 HP under her skirt. So, I called PMNA about procuring new Std Rod & Main Bearings for my 2001 996 GT3 Cup as they have there very own special funky part numbers. I was boldly informed that PMNA does not sell ANY internal engine parts, but they would be more than happy to rebuild the engine for me....for $35,000!! After choking & gagging I decided it was time to hit Rennlist for info! This is my 1st GT3 Cup, but I have been rebuilding 911/930/944/951 engines for about 20-years and have most of the P Tools required (including some of the specialized Stomski valve train tools). The 996 GT3 Cup cases are nearly identical to the air cooled models , with a few of the holes plugged off in the castings. Being Uber **** I want all of the parts on hand and readily available to start the reman project. Here is the question #1 : The Factory GT3 Parts manual lists the ROD Bearings as 930.101.132.05. 001 for Red, 930.101.132.05.002 Yellow, or 930.101.132.05.003 for Blue?? I am making the assumption that these are for undersized units. Are the GT3 Cup Standard Rod Bearings the same as a street GT3? If not, What is the difference?? Here is the question #2 : Same stuff but MAIN bearings?? Any info would be greatly appreciated...Rokket

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.
