Long Block for C2, 996, -98, 3.4l

Anybody know reliable engine maker in Europe?

I face the common "ticking" problem and try to find trustworthy company to make/sell me a long block.

Hartech are probably the best by far - http://www.hartech.org

 

These are also highly regarded -

Mine ticks too.  Various folk who know what they're talking about have convinced me that it's not a death tick.  Hard to tell though!

 

A phone call to Hartech may give you peace of mind before taking the plunge.

I tried by mail, but maybe they are just now busy answering soon. By phone - I'm not too familiar with engine vocabulary and skipped that for now. Maybe they answer later on.

Thanks for sharing.

One of the local Porsche maintenance company promised today to have look at it next week. Let's see what their findings are. All the sealings at least are leaking more or less.

It can be only chain tensioner or alike, but with 250tkm I want to play it safe.

Hope to hear good news soon...

Good luck :)

 

Perhaps you could also contact a forum member called 'Twilight' via the 911uk site.  This is a thread he started...

He is also in Finland and may be able to help you find what you need.

There are various reasons you could have a tick. Might be worth running some thicker 5w40 to see if that remedies the problem or at least having your bores scoped to confirm the problem before diving into an engine rebuild. 

 

My tick presented exactly like the scored bore symptoms but was the result of an exhaust header gasket that was installed upside down allowing air to leak between the exhaust and air injection ports(?)
