Why Buy a 2016 Porsche Cayman S Engine from Auto Power Source
Every 2016 Cayman S engine we ship is pulled from a low-mileage donor vehicle, cataloged by VIN, and held in our climate-controlled warehouse pending sale. Our ASE-certified technicians compression-test every cylinder and run a leak-down evaluation before any unit is cleared for sale.
The 2016 Cayman S spans the 2.7L and 3.4L 981-generation flat-six — same engine family, but the displacements and VIN codes are not interchangeable, so VIN-matching is critical. Text your VIN and we will confirm the exact match before you order.

2016 Cayman S Engine Buying Guide
-
Confirm the 5th-digit VIN code. The 2016 Cayman S splits between the 2.7L (VIN A) and 3.4L (VIN B) flat-six — same family, different displacement and output.
-
Match the S displacement. The 3.4L is the S engine (opt I009); the 2.7L is the base unit. They are not interchangeable.
-
Note the GTS exclusion. Our 3.4L S unit is supplied without the GTS-edition configuration — verify your trim before ordering.
-
Confirm the 981-generation flat-six. The 2016 Cayman S uses the naturally aspirated 981 flat-six, distinct from the later turbocharged 718 four-cylinder units.
-
Always run the donor VIN if available. We provide it on request for any Cayman S engine in inventory to verify mileage and history.
Our ASE-certified technicians verify every one of these points against your VIN before any engine ships.
