Looking for 993 3.6 Engine
Anyone know of any 993 3.6 that need a good home? Preferably would like a 1995 model year. Starting to look for engines again for my RSR build. Would like to find something local before I travel to look at others I’ve found. Should be getting back shore side here in a few weeks . Thanks Guys!

I thought about going the 964 route but after reading and talking to guys who have done it would if they could do it again just do a 993 instead. I personally wanted a 993 so I don’t have to worry about valve adjustments or the early 964 sealing issues. One less thing to maintain in my fleet of high maintenance cars, lol. The 993 engine seems bullet proof for the most part. If the money is right and I can get a 964 for the right price then I might take it.
Thanks!

Not trying to push the 964 angle, just giving you another data point: I have a (late) 964 engine in my car. No regrests at all. I've never really wished I had a 993 except for Varioram. Solid lifters are more maintenance but also more track-friendly, so that was actually a benefit for me.

Sealing issues are only on the early 964 engines, the ones without the cylinder-to-head gaskets. And at this point, most of those have been dealt with already.

how often are valve adjustments? 15K miles? 5 years? Good luck on your search. Sounds like a fun car once built!

I always thought that the 993 RSR's did not have hydraulic valves. Something about the oil and sustained high rpm's. Of course, if racing isn't part of the end goal, then hydraulic is the way to go. I know I wish my street 964 had them.

Jazz Bass - Im not against the 964's but if there wasn’t a huge price difference then I would probably opt for the 993 variant. Do you know what the lash intervals are off hand? Also if anyone has a long block assembly I would also be interested. Im open ... feelers are out. Thanks guys!

Outside of the lifter thing (which is either a good thing or bad thing depending on your intended purpose), there is very little practical difference between the two engines to be honest. In the 4 years I've had a 964 engine in my 85, I've never wished I had gone with a 993 engine. And this is coming from someone who has taken ex post facto second guessing and hand wringing to a whole new level. There were just as many 964s made as 993s, so opening your search to all of them basically doubles your potential pool of available engines. All of the engines have their quirks, FWIW. Early 964s with sealing issues, 993s with carbon buildup problems. Being diligent and finding a good example without issues is the most important thing to consider. Good luck with the search - post pictures of the build process. I love seeing these kind of cars come together.
