996 3.4 engine changes / dates

[skinny]

LTT is more relevant for 3.6 than 3.4 but imo it won't do any harm in the 3.4 - the cooling is still not ideal, even tho the engine is less prone to bore score.

I fitted one too to mine as a precaution with a coolant flush and change

@Griffter - sure, nothing really major but as you know it adds up. A weeping engine mount, brake disks getting worn and rear faces corroded beyond surface rust, a dmaged/ crushed a/c pipe (but system still working)incorrect rear indicator bulbs, and rusty exhaust fittings. The low temp thermostat was my initiative, like yours my indy was sceptical of the benefit for a 3.4, but agreed it could be a help and would do no harm. Easy and cheap to do if changing the pump as a precaution.

Thanks, appreciated. Very similar to mine. The exhaust fittings are a pain. Mine are basically dust, but I'll have to bite the bullet sometime... I'm not sure on the thermostat. Will continue to ponder!
