Dear friends
I need to replace the cylinder head block on a 997 4S 2007

the part number is
99710100106

 

Any used one in good condition out there?

 

Can you give us some history on the failure? Was it sudden? What mods you have, what mileage....

 

Dear Jabed,

the car has 25000 miles on it and has no mods on it. The crack is between the spark plug housing and the cylinder edge and is causing the water to seep in causing misfiring.

 

I have a picture on the cracked cylinder head don't know how to post it

 

Sorry guys, its not the cylinder head block but it is the crank housing and it comes in two pieces.
part number is given above earlier.
send me a mail and I will send you the pic of the failure

 

Thanks for the info and sorry about your misfortune. I have the exact year and model so I was curious if this is a common problem as my CPO warranty is about to expire and I'm not really considering an aftermarket extended at this point. I have heard if this on older 996 models and never on a 997. Now I might consider the extended...hmmmm

 

Are you out of warranty? Have you got quote to repair? What's the cost you are looking at at the dealer or Indy?

 

The car is my brother-in-law's
.
mine is a 2010 cabriolet 4S.
he stop purchasing the warranty 3 years ago so he saved $6000 but now he got quoted 16000$ by the dealer.
Never ever lose your extended warranty.

we are struggling to find a used part.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

I would check with someone like LA Dismantlers.
