Hi all,
I'm getting oil into the coolant on my daily driver '88 924S and my local mechanic, who is not a Porsche-specific guy, but still very good, is willing to do the repair but I have to find the parts for him.
I have had this done in the past, but never had to find the parts myself. I've always heard about a kit/set of gaskets, O-rings and other bits and pieces that are necessary to do this job, so if anyone knows of such a thing I'd appreciate a pointer.
Also, are there other parts that are needed to do this job properly? Again, my sense is that there is a "later" version of all these parts that helps with some poor or inadequate design on the original system.
TIA for any advice.

I found a nice write-up of the repair at Clark's Garage (yeah, Clark!):
http://www.clarks-garage.com/ Under "O" in the "Shop Manual" section.
This seems pretty complete, but if anyone has words of wisdom, please post.
