mc968cs Posted 25October, 2021 Report Posted 25October, 2021 Hello, I have for sale a set of near new Pistons and Barrels - 997 GT3 3.6L Note the following. A small piece of metal was somehow ingested at 1500 km. I heard it ticking and and shut the engine down instantly. It wasn't loud just different. The engine, under warranty was tested, and the leak down result was perfect. Given there was a noise, it was fully stripped and very minor damage was found to some piston tops and extemely small marks on the bore. The view (PR Tech a few years ago) and Ive also shown them to another mechanic recently (a Porsche specialist who also agreed) was they were perfectly useable, maybe change one piston and barrel. I decided at the time to go to a 'slightly larger capacity'....while your there why not and hell all my mates were! 🙂 . ie: Basically I could use them again but if I did, being cautious I would replace one piston and barrel as pictured. This was in a 997.1 3.6 GT3, and i believe these are the same set fitted to 996 GT3 as well. circa $8k new. $2k plus post Quote
P-Kay Posted 25October, 2021 Report Posted 25October, 2021 Curious with your larger capacity - Sharkwerks or something else? Quote
