This is not a probability of success.

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

Our friend Woody put me on to a motor that was rebuilt/refreshed by a friend of his. It’s a 3.2 with new bearings and rings, ims, water pump etc. I’ll try to get some video up on my channel soon about this and the post mortem on my trashed engine.

POST 3Original post

Woody is a great guy and a real asset to our P car community . Hope all goes well with this phase of your project .

POST 4Original post

Glad to hear you found a solid engine! Good luck with the project!

POST 7Original post

Would be nice if it has upgraded internals, at least rods/bolts. You're a brave man NewArt!

Thanks. If I don't have it and know someone that does, I'll pass on the info. I need to start charging a commission as it seems I sell more of other people's motors or transmissions than mine He used new rod bolts. The motor was suppose to be for one of his race cars. I'm not sure of his M96 rebuilding skills but I know he's rebuilt lots and lots of air cooled motors. Here's us working in one part of his shop. He mostly restores/ back dates air cooled 911's but races boxsters as a hobby
