I find a lot of un-certain quotes but no data?
Anyone have any experience or data to share?

I would send the case to L.N. Enginnering for their Billet alloy 3.6 litre sleeves, for a permament fix & upgrade.
. That's what I did to my 2001 engine. 2001 996 engines have the thinnest/weakest cylinder walls of any M96 engine. I have it for sale in the classified forum.
