Dayton Sleeves makes sleeves for the M96/M97 3.6 that are ductile steel or cast iron, and there is another company who installs cast iron cylinder sleeves in the M96/M97 engines whose name escapes me. I went with the Nickies, there is some controversy over cast iron/ductile steel cylinder liners for these engines. Looking at the price for OEM Porsche piston rings, the cost of the Nickies didn't seem so horrible.
Wow, that’s a long wait! I will definitely look into other possibilities. I don’t mind staying at 3.6.
