What else needs removing to replace OPG?

The oil level connector cover WAS available when I did much of this a few years back, but NOT as a 928 part. I found it in PET under 944 parts. Anyone who has one that is 'toast' like most are, might look in the 944 parts catalog.
Do you recall the part number or where in the 944 is that connector cover used?

I've seen OPG write-up that refers to "unbolting and dropping oil pickup" into pan.
Please can anyone explain in more detail? I'm looking at WSM that shows the "oil intake tube" on diagram that I expect is the "pickup tube" referred to. Typically the WSM has nothing to say on subject of changing the gasket, so no info on what to do with that oil tube.
Thanks

With crossmember out, no need to drop the oil pickup tube.

Make sure you clean the mating surfaces both on the oil pan and the engine block properly and make sure they are not oily when you put the gasket on. Use ties to hold the gasket in place on the pan, then when you have enough bolts holding the land & gasket in place snip the ties and pull them out.

If you are using Roger's stud kit, simply put the new silicon gasket on the studs in the block, it will stay in place and then slap on the pan.

I've got the Porsche cork gasket on order, so will use Bilal's tip for zip ties keeping it in position until fair number of bolts are in.
Not removed pan yet so don't know how much of gasket stuck to pan/block mating surfaces. What's recommended for cleaning gasket off those surfaces without damaging them?
Thanks a lot
