Sorry if this is a repost - A close friend sent me this (thanks Torbin) and I found it very interesting.


LN Engineering hit a home run here!

Question - does the 996TT have a single row? I was always under the impression the 996TT didn't have these issues.

Correct, the 996TT engine was totally different.

yes, RedBaron just told me '996 TT does not have an IMS as it uses the old metzger block from the 993 and has a dry sump system.' I should have bet my friend a beer!

Welcome to 2008.. lol.

That intermediate shaft pictured at the top of the article doesn't belong there. That shaft assembly is the air-cooled (and 996TT, GT3) shaft assembly that has no relation to the M96, M97 water cooled engines.

I'm always at least slightly leery of anyone putting out information on something that is also trying to sell you a solution, though this article is pretty fair.
