No, the 997 is NOT shorter stroke than 986/ 996. ALL 997 engines have an 82.8mm crank, the longest stroke of all M96/ M97 engine families.

Trust that these are not OEM components being utilized to gain this displacement. This is the final frontier, where all the OEM components are omitted from the internals of the engine.

Alongside this engine being built, is also the largest M96/M97 family engine ever built, tipping the scales at north of 4.4L. It'll take several years to optimize it, especially cylinder head wise. I have a goal of creating the craziest, most insane M96 in the world, and making it last. We'll crank up boost for that one and shut the freaking copy cats down on every front.
