Just had a look at that part number and yes it does fit Porsche and wide selection of engines, and they do seem to be fairly cheap over here.
Is there anyway of testing these lifters once there out, sure i read an article somewhere that your suppose to be able to pump them with your finger, all the one's i removed from my 2.5 were rock solid with no movement even after a few days out of the car, the engine had no ticking noises and ran very quiet, so is it possible my lifters were stuck or sticking.
I'm rebuilding a 3.4 996 unit at the moment and was going to use the old lifters, but now reading this wondering if it's best to get a new set
