Water bridge
Hello folks:
I was doing the Water bridge on my 928 and wanted to share with you this information and a warning. When doing the seals on the water bridge...Re- use your original Silicone Square O ring type gaskets..OR fabricate your own. IMHO DO NOT use thick flat normal looking gaskets. You will not have any fun aligning the mounting bolts. It is a question of clearances and the flat gaskets are just too thick. Several people have had issues with this. This caveat applies to the 16V models (I believe) I know some will advocate that the grooves for these OEM seals should be filled and the flat gaskets used...AGAIN IMHO...No, go with the OEM.
for more information: see cross post:

In the attached picture, the correct looking gaskets are on the LEFT, the INCORRECT gaskets (or what is left of them after my ordeal) are on the right Please spread the word. Thanks
