As someone who has built a 3.8 from a 996 3.6 set of case halves and heads, I have re-searched this topic deeply. Unless they are running thinner walled sleeves than LN does, the maximum bore is 99mm. Only the 3.6 and 3.8 motors came with a 82.8mm crank, as everything else uses a 78mm crank. This is why with the LN procedure, you wind up with a 3.2 to a 3.6 (99 bore by 78 stroke). There's no way they are including a new crank and bearing carrier for that price.

Other than that, their parts list appears to be a copy from their air cooled offerings, which is rather incorrect in multiple areas. I like how they list "pro series cylinders installed" (this isn't like putting jugs on an air cooler) and "German Glyco" bearings (Glyco doesn't make bearings for the water cooled stuff).

Other than that, a quick search on google will dig up a long list of people who Motor Meister has pissed off.
