Thanks Kirk for all the info. I checked the links and I don't think the timing chain link is correct. Which one do I want?

I probably posted the wrong link.

If you go in from the EBS home page, and select your car, It it is under engine seals gasket & sets -->Camshaft / Valve Train and then its the one at the bottom POR054614

Oops I forgot this is about a clutch and not an engine rebuild. Unless your engine is leaking badly from alot of spots buying these full seal sets may be overkill.

Perhaps you should evaluate how bad the engine leaks are before ordering. Then you can decide how far you need to take it apart to do the reseal.

ie: if your cylinder base o-rings are leaking then you will need most of these gaskets, but if you just need an rms seal and a thermostat seal, then its probably not worth buying the full seal kits.

I'll check the engine and see where it's leaking from and get back to this thread. Thanks for all your help.

I just picked up a 1992 964 3.6l to install into my 911sc. The motor has 48k on it's clock. It has a leak behind the camshaft gear cover where the camshaft goes through the housing. I didn't really notice this leak until I put the motor on a stand and tilted it to the side. So I will be replacing these gaskets, retiming the valvetrain since I have to remove the cam gear, adjusting valves, lots of cleaning, a compression leakdown test, paint, renew all easily accessible gaskets, new rear seal, spark plugs, check plug wires, new dist. caps, filters, new hoses (breather not really oil line they are durable), and I am sure many more that I am not thinking of but will stumble upon later. Here is a link to the thread I started on Pelican site http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?t=371579

I missed your thread on pelican. You would likely get more advice if you duplicated it in the engine rebuild forum. Alot of the more technical motor rebuild / transplant posts are in there.

I would order these from a mail-order Porsche dealership and avoid the aftermarket sourced (Pelican/EBS/etc.) seals.

There are also two additional seals (993-105-193-00) between the chaincase and the crankcase but their replacement requires a bit of work. As well, check the condition of the oil tubes. You can buy expandable versions and new o-rings.

I am about to order a valve cover kit from one of the above mentioned aftermarket companies. Is there a difference on what you get from them vs. Porsche dealer? If so, have there been quality issues with aftermarket seals?

JasonAndreas

I'm not aware of any major problems with aftermarket valve cover seals. Other seals yes, have been a problem (especially FMS & RMS). If you're buying mail-order there are no cost savings from sourcing aftermarket seals and we know that the OE seals don't have problems. So there are no benefits to using the aftermarket parts. Back when I didn't know any better I spent a few dollars on aftermarket parts and I won't do that again unless I absolutely have no choice.

Ok. So I jacked up the back end of the car and it appears to be leaking from the valve covers. Does this sound right?

anyone? like everything i do i'm trying to order parts last minute. need to complete this on saturday.

Can anyone tell me anything from these photos? Other than my car is leaking. The car had been sitting for 2 weeks and when I came out to it she looked like this. I noticed a small amount of oil on the garage floor. Then looked up and it looks as though the valve covers are leaking. Could it be running down that hose from the valve covers as well?

Thanks guys.

Hard to say for sure without you pointing out exactly where it is coming from. Though, the lower valve covers are very leak-prone. They warp and crack and basically fall apart. New valve cover gaskets might fix it - definitely worth a shot.

Also, check the timing chain covers in back. They each have a gasket and a buch of grommets around the studs they are mounted with. These also sometimes leak but not nearly as often as the lower valve covers.

I wished mine only leaked that little.
