Help with 996 bearing carrier model
 

Hi
I am rebuilding the engine for my race car BOXSTER 1997 SPB
I ordered the crankshaft carrier bearings twice but I got ones that come with a notch ( 996.101.131.64) pic below
The problem is that my crankshaft carrier does not have grooves for the bearings.

Anyone knows what would be the right part number for these bearings without the notch?

Any help is greatly appreciated

Anyone please!!

Also need 1

I ended up taking the carrier to machine some grooves. Nobody seems to know anything about a carrier without grooves. Rare specimens 🤣

Well, to be frank, the 2.5 motors have little value. So, most are not willing to invest in rebuilding one as the cost far exceeds the value- for a shop to build it. Make sense?

I have a 2.5 block I had sleeved to use in a future bigger bore build. Have had it for 7 years.... :)

At any rate, sounds like you have solved your bearing issue.

Cheers
