A few months ago I got lucky and picked up two non running Boxster engines for little money. One M96.21 (2.7 L) with a failed IMS and piston / valve collision. The other 2.5 had a dropped sleeve that had resulted in a shattered piston on #1. In order to be able to "mix-and-match" remaining good parts I am trying to figure out (beyond part numbers from PET) what the real differences are in terms of basic internals between these two engines. From comparing / measuring, I believe the following parts are identical: - Case halves - Heads with valves and valve covers - Connecting rods and bearings, wrist pins etc. - IMS to exhaust cam chains - Chain guides, tensioners etc. Slightly different (but interchangable) are: - Crank carrier; the main bearings are mirror images 2.5 vs. 2.7, but offsets and angles are the same. Also the 2.7 has a different design for the chain that runs from crank to IMS shaft; gear vs. double row of teeth. - IMS shaft, for the same reason as the cranks are different. So AFAIK, the only real difference is in the pistons. Kind of important to have this reconfirmed before mixing-and-matching parts... The forum's input would be very welcome. Joost
