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.

2001 996 non tubro I am looking for the piston to cylinder clearance for a 2001 996 3.4l . This is the bore size - piston size. I have seen some referenced as new to be 0.0008" to 0.0012" and even 0.002" . I have Mahle pistons and will be re-coating the skirts. Case bores are being refinishes. I find a lot of un-certain quotes but no data? Anyone have any experience or data to share?

I would send the case to L.N. Enginnering for their Billet alloy 3.6 litre sleeves, for a permament fix & upgrade. . That's what I did to my 2001 engine. 2001 996 engines have the thinnest/weakest cylinder walls of any M96 engine. I have it for sale in the classified forum.
