996s
 
I have had a few conversations where people say that the 996S has titanium con rods.
I don't believe it does?
Anybody know the truth?

Some early ones did leave the factory with them. A few even with the sand cast SPS engine cases. Cases are an easy spot, only way to tell with the rods is to take a cylinder off and have a look see.
Parts list says defo steel rods and production cast cases though. Early ones appear to be a bit of a parts bin raid on the SPS shelves :)

Thanks Nelly.
I'd like to give you the oppurtunity to find out as I'm looking for a big service but you're a little far away from me.
