My thought is this came right out of the factory with this.
A little history I’m 65 retired from CAT after 26 years as a field tech and 4
Years in the office. I am not a Porsche tech and don’t claim to be but I can
usually handle what comes up. I say this because I’ve seen some amazing things
Come out of factories, I’m not saying the repairs are scrupulous they’re just repairs
Professionally done. I should have said has anyone else ever seen this in
their motors or is this a one off?
Trannys back in, should finish this weekend with my filter adapter and mag
Drain plug arriving tomorrow. I’ll let you know
I also came across a few surprises while rebuilding my engine that had not been touched before me, but the crankcase welded like this? That is there for a reason for sure. Someone made a mistake at the assembly line and fixed it before anyone else would have noticed it? Just for your reference, this is how it looks on mine:



Probably no one will shed light on what happened here and when... That bearing cage is another mystery to me..

Anyways, I wish you no more surprises with the car
