Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

No difference, as the crankshaft is the same for both.
Dear all,
I've been offered this today and wondered if anyone could confirm that it originates from a 3.4 litre 996.
I don't need it at the moment as the car is running well but its nice to have put aside just in case!!
Cheers
Gerry
I think the engine number should be on there somewhere. That would be the best way to know for sure. Other than that, I can only think of measuring the bore and stroke. A 3.4 is 96mm bore and 78mm stroke, and the 3.6 is 96mm bore and 82.2mm stroke. Of course, it could be a Boxster engine, but they are a different bore size. 2.5 and 2.7 are 85.5mm bore, and the 3.2 is 93mm bore.
Richard,
My mate has sent these photographs to help determine the crankcases original source.
It seems that it is definitely from a 996 although the engine serial number is difficult to read.
Regards

It looks like it reads M96/04 661 113(?)72 to me, which would make it a 2001 3.4 engine. The /04 and 661 are clear enough, which are the engine type and series, indicating a 3.4 and 2001, so it should be fine.

I think I'll have to take a chance and buy it from him.

No difference, as the crankshaft is the same for both. Is it complete with intermediate shaft and chain drive? I ask because the intermediate shaft for the M96/04 engine is no longer available, so if the shaft bearing goes and the shaft is damaged, you probably won't be able to get one to match. Depending on the engine type of your car, it will have either the roller chain drive, or a Hika chain. The two are incompatible, so you can't mix and match. If your friends block has all the parts you should be OK though.
Did you see the announcement of short block at 50% off prices from OPC?
Only takes one minute 32 seconds to build too [
