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.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Plus he told me first that it was factory new, then changed the story to factory rebuilt, then changed it again to rebuilt by a "factory trained" tech.

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

I think I need a new engine. Looking for a good 3.4 or preferably a 3.6 used or new. Anywhere else to look besides, Sunset, Suncoast, Parts Heaven, LA Dismantlers ,Flat 6 Innovations. Thanks for your help.

POST 2Original post

There is a post in the Rennlist 996 forum for a new, waranteed 3.6

POST 3Original post

I really would not recommend getting a used one unless it is extremely low mileage and can be verified. Whatever you do, avoid LA Dismantlers. I once inquired on a supposedly rebuilt engine and when I asked who built it, the person replied that he cannot disclose that unless I pay for the engine first. Plus he told me first that it was factory new, then changed the story to factory rebuilt, then changed it again to rebuilt by a "factory trained" tech. How can you trust them if they cant even get their story straight? No thanks...

I agree!...........Stay away from LA Dismantlers!! I got ripped off by Todd Dakarman (the owner) years ago. I will NEVER use them again! I will obviously not recommend them either! I will happily pay more and buy from somewhere else if necessary............just to avoid them!!

POST 5Original post

There was a place down in Southern CA rebuilding these engines for $7000 exchange. I have no affiliation and I'm not sure how good their work is........So unfortunately I can't give any recommendation or feedback. However, their contact info is: 2648 E south st. long beach, CA 90805 ph: [phone removed] fax: [phone removed] alt: [phone removed] [email removed] http://ufomotorsport.com/ If anyone has had experience, or heard of any feedback on this company........Please share!
