Did you know we have a forged crank and a two piece split crankcase:grinyes:

- V6 Engines - all-alloy DOHC 24V 60-degree V6 configuration
- Split Crankcase - as 911 flat-6 offers increased rigidity over traditional bearing-cap solutions for high-rpm capability (7800rpm 2.0V6) and low NVH (winning 1992 German engine award)
- Bearings - 4-bolt Mains, with a further pair of bolts at each bearing section. Key journals & bearings are oversized regarding width. Bearings are triple-layer heavy duty
- Crankshaft - Forged, nitrided, triple-lapped, mirror-finished
- Piston Squirters - Upper bearing journals contain piston oil-squirters to aid cooling
- Exhaust-Valves - Stainless steel & sodium cooled
- Pistons - Lightweight to reduce reciprocating mass, piston skirts are moly coated to reduce friction
- Head Gaskets - Stainless steel is used, with torque-to-yield bolts
- Stroke - Very short stroke creates low crank angles & low rod/bearing loads
