I've checked with several Porsche specialists and all said it's not recommended to bore out the existing engine block. Higher wear without the silicon sleeve is the main reason. Also, you apparently need special tools to dismantle the head from the cylinder block which only Porsche Centers have them.
No wonder most are opting for the 996 engine conversion. Meanwhile, does anyone know whether the 996 3.6l block will fit into the Boxster? I know the 3.4l is of the same block but not too sure about the 3.6l ones.
However, companies like Techart are still boring out the 3.2 to 3.7l ones! I wonder about the longevity of the engine in those cases.... Unless there's a disclaimer from Techart requiring engine rebuilts every 10k miles?
