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.

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

Need to know what else to test/have tested on a 3.6 motor for my transplant. Leak down was between 2% and 5%....does that sound OK... This is a hyro lifter motor from 1995 car with 44K miles. What else should I ask for ? Edit: Motor is being sold by perhaps the best shop in the southwest and installed by them as well.

POST 2Original post

The 3.6 didn't come out until 2002. Anyways, have them lock TDC and pull the IMS and 1-3 chain adjusters so the IMS flange can be pulled and the IMS bearing checked and replaced with the LN engineering bearing (the IMS bearing is a catastrophic failure in these engines and have been know to fail a low mileage).

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I think the 3.6 was standard issue beginning in 1990 ?

POST 4Original post

Mark, This looks like you're in the 996/997 forum. You say the motor is from 1995...an air cooled motor??? Perhaps you want to run the question in the 911, 993 or 964 forum for more traffic/responses. If the engine is twin plugged, you want to make sure you have the 'ozone' blower line that vents air into the distributor from the fan. You also want to make sure the rubber drive belt for the (twin plug only) distributor is inspected. If it is original to 95, then you will want a rebuilt distributor as the rubber breaks down over time, even with the ozone venting.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Tony, Ooops...you're right...wrong forum. Thanks for you reply though. Had not heard about the dist. problem.
