The one I have is not hollow and have smaller diameter, it’s not a tube it’s like a small shaft/axle… but thanks for trying to help!😅 It was the only item that looked anything like a 53 x 4 rod/shaft in the parts cat. Looks like you'll need real specialist help from a Porsche engine expert, like at Hartech. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I can’t be sure if the part is from this engine or not, as I had bought the car with the engine totally unassembled in boxes🤪….

The feedback is that they "don't recognise the part from a Boxster engine TBH" - this is from folk who built my 986 3.7 and various 9x7 standard and 3.9 motors so they're pretty familiar with the parts needed to build one. Given it was a disassembled engine it would be entirely possible it has nothing to do with the engine at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iborguk Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) So for example , re https://flic.kr/p/2ntV2et, when I open it in my browser (Safari on a Mac) the address for the image is actually https://www.flickr.com/photos/61827272@N07/52168075145/ You should be able to get that image address by right clicking on the photo in Flickr.
