I picked up a slightly distressed 2000 S yesterday and started doing my PPI (Post Purchase Insp.) today. After I closed it up for the night I looked up the engine serial number and as far as I can tell, it shows it to be a 1997 engine, which I'm guessing would have to be a 2.5L
My decoding attempt is:
2065 = 2.5L, 6Cyl, Version 5.
V = 1997
The rest is the sequence.
Is there any way this could be a 3.2L with that number?
Here's the engine from the top. AOS looks a bit odd. I'm guessing it's the "motorsports AOS"
I have no idea about it's history yet. The guys I got it from had just taken it in trade and couldn't even spell Porsche.
...and is this intake normal? It looks like a few things aren't lined up quite right: ...tomorrow I'll pop the cover on one of my '99s and compare.
