    hey guys , would like to hear some opinions on your everyday driving habits , can these 3.4 996 really handle years of high reving fun with out spinning out the RMS every other month or the dreaded cylinder wall failures, :renntech:

    so why do you think they gave a new engine because of the low 18K milage or the newer 2002 model yr or you buying a new 07 987S

    looks like wllong has it right the checklist just seems like a nice wax and cleaning, so i will have to ask the dealer for the compession, leak down test and pressurize the cooling system, check the DME for update and run engine numbers etc....

    hello This is my first time post at the renntech, I am seriously considering the 99-01 996 for a new everyday driver, I have been looking for a few mo now and am very surprized on how affordable they are becoming 25-35K, and i really like the mods that can done for the 996 and interior of the 911 now is great for everyday use, all the comon comforts are there compared to the AMG mercedes s i have been driving has a everyday drivers for the passed 10yrs, The only problem i having is the engine failure problems i have been reading about on other forums,, I dont think i can find CPO 996 for under 40K and dont thinK a extra 10K is justifaction for the mark up, So this leads me to ask are the Posche factory manuals availible yet for the 3.4 liter engine, I can do all the wrok myself with enjoyment, water pump coils, oil changes, timing chains etc... i have rebuilt a 911 2.0T engine 911 2.4S engine rebuild the cylinder heads on both 16v cosworth mercedes and the c36 AMG so i think i can handle most fixes with/without the help of a machine shop, i just like ot know the real factory specs and torque numbers are cd's or dvds or books out to the public yet??
