Hi again,
Just noticed that the original title of this post was wrong....should be M96 not M97.... Anyway....found some more info on how to decode 986 engine numbers. Here is an example for a 2.5 engine.... 20 is 2.5l engine; 6 is 6 cylinder; 5 is engine version; V is model year; and 00224 is sequential serial number. Model years: v w x y z v = 1995 w = 1996 x = 1997 y = 1998 z = 1999 0 = 2000 1 = 2001 2 = 2002 So according to above, this engine is 21 (3.2?), 6 cylinder, version 7, year 1998 and sequential number 11040. Hence if single row ims bearings were installed starting sometime during year 2001...then this is a dual bearing engine. Engine Number Model Bearing Type Up to engine # M 651 12851 Boxster 2.7L M96.22 Double Row Bearing Up to engine # M 671 11237 Boxster S 3.2L M96.21 Double Row Bearing Up to engine # M 661 14164 Carrera 996 3.4L Double Row Bearing From engine # M 651 12852 Boxster 2.7L M96.22 Single Row Bearing From engine # M 671 11238 Boxster S 3.2L M96.21 Single Row Bearing From engine # M 661 14165 Carrera 996 3.4L Single Row Bearing All 2005 Boxster 987 (maybe some 2006 models) Single Row Bearing All 2005 Carrera 997 (maybe some 2006 models) Single Row Bearing Maybe some 2006 Cayman models Single Row Bearing |
Read what JFP in PA said. Read it again. The engine numbers do not matter. Any 2000 or 2001 engine may have either. I like to think that they are all dual row and will remain dual row until you observe them.
