The one good 3.4 head I have has damage on the exhaust cam journal (first mounting point) We are working on a honing bar so we can weld up the 4-5 heads we have with damage in this area.

He should sell his one good 3.4 head and install 3.2 heads. Same casting, same valves, small combustion chamber. I believe it is 1 point higher on compression (and all these engines read lower than Porsche published) from what I have found..

I have to be careful, we make adapters for everything in house, so I don't worry about that stuff, but should be more clear when speaking in public

Like.. CaymanS intake adapters for 3.2 heads

Looks like they are the same you just need to drill & tap threads for the heat shield mounting bosses & a few on the intake side too. Thats how they use the same head casting.
