carrera911/996

Hello,

I have a 911/996 2003 carrera and last summer i was running with it out of oil but not so long to damage it too bad.So i tried to rebuild the engine so i have bought all the damaged pieces.The axle,bearings,pomps and everything.Now i put all in order but i hardly try to find someone which know how to set up the distribution because i hared that is an order how to put the crankshafts and the chain.Please someone help me i am in a desperate situation because i have broken one crankshaft already because i didn't put them well in order and i already bought a new one so i don't want to do the same mistake again.

thank you very much.

Are you for real?

If you are, sounds like you need to find a mechanic asap. Or the engine is scrap.

From one of his Pelican posts. Don't we have someone from Romania on here?

"yes why is a joke.I am from romania and i tried to repair it at PORSCHE and they told me that they don't repair engines so i tried to repair it.I was searched in romania for parts and i found a man who sold parts of 911/996 engine.i told him my problem and he told me that he made his boxster engine by himself so i asked him if he can repair this engine and he told me YES but he don't know one thing...to set up the distribution because it is a special way."

Running the car out of oil requires all the engine bearings to be replaced or the crank and piston rods have a good chance of failing again. Even the piston cylinders need to be checked and probably honed or cylinder walls replaced. I'm not even sure if you can hone the cylinder walls with the type metal they are.

Sounds like a real lousy time. Good luck.

Sure i checked the dmage parts,the block and pistons are like new,i did,t runed it too damaged the engine so bad.when the pressure oil light shows i have stoped the engine and i went to aporsche service.they gaved me a bad new.they dont repair engines they only change them with one brand new.So i talked to a man wich i orderd in the past some parts for the transminsion box and he told me that he repaired his engine by himself at a boxster and he told me to bring the engine to him.He opend the engine case and he looked in it and he told me that the bearings looks bad and he measured the axle and he told me that has to be changed.also the oil pomps.i changed all these parts and now we get to the final step.to set uop the distribution.i need some specificationb how i need to set it.thanks

I have to think that the folks at LNEngineering and/or Flat 6 innovations can help out.

I wish I could help but the internal workings of the engine are not my strong points. Surely someone will chime in soon.
