Beautiful, fast with 3.8L engine, in excellent condition. Major overhaul 66967 miles (Oct-2015): IMS Bearing, Clutch and Flywheel, Heads rebuilt, Water Pump R&R (steel replacement for fiber), and new Cam Phasers. Original Porsche 3.6L engine blocks were machined by LN Engineering and included the complete removal and replacement of all cylinders. FR pistons & rings were included to fit the new 3.8L block. The following text from LN Engineering explains the process:FROM LN ENGINEERING: “WATERCOOLED NICKIES WHEN REBUILDING AN M96 OR M97 ENGINE, THERE ARE MANY CONSIDERATIONS WHEN EVALUATING YOUR OPTIONS. WITH THOUSANDS OF ENGINES FITTED WITH NICKIES OVER THE SPAN OF A DECADE, NO ONE HAS MORE EXPERIENCE THAN LN ENGINEERING WHEN IT COMES TO SOLVING M96/M97 CYLINDER ISSUES. Re-ringing your M96 or M97 engine isn't even an option for most rebuilds, however most engine builders re-ring engines after only doing a visual inspection of cylinder bores rather than measuring the cylinders for ovality and taper. Most every used engine we have ever inspected has more than the allowable .002" ovality and taper specified by Porsche. It is a guarantee if the engine has not been sleeved, the bores are out of spec on even a "fresh" rebuild. If the bores do happen to be in spec, there is also the issue of other known modes of failure: d-chunk, cracking, and scoring. Nickies address all known cylinder weaknesses.” Steel sleeves, although inexpensive, have limitations including increased friction, reduced cooling, and shorter service life than our NSC-plated Nickies featuring all-aluminum construction. Why use anything less than the best?
