I still have the 3.2 M96 engine from my 2001 986 in the garage, this poor thing had over 200,000 miles on it before a rod let go. If you wish to see how bad this thing was here is a link to one of my YouTube videos on the motor tear down. https://youtu.be/h_2dEuj5efI

At this point I don't think the case is worth fixing and buying a new crank case, and rebuilding the motor.

BUT WHAT ELSE can I do with this hunk of metal?

Suggestions on what to do, maybe a cool table with wine bottles as pistons...
