I think it was 23 or maybe more, not sure but Jake will likely correct. The 993 is without a doubt a more robust motor, BUT, the main modes of failure on the M96 motors from what I've read are: IMS, Water Pump, RMS and AOS which I alluded to replacing earlier.
I then stated that replacing these known issues / wear items would likely result in a reliable / fun car for the money. Try buying a nice example of a 993 for what a 996 coupe could be had for.
My prior post was to let the OP'er know things can indeed be addressed, if he wants to or not is his call.
