I could not find the easy to understand DIY for removing the throttle cable at the engine. Because I would have loved to have down that.

 

Not supposed to take it off at that end.

 

Which end Makmov?

 

Not the engine end. Take off at the pedal end and then slide the cable out of the out sleeve.

 

And why not,...!

 

Porsche said so

Not sure you can without jacking with the cable tension and idle, or possibly damaging it.

I also dropped the engine multiple times this past winter. Each time I disconnected from the pedal.

Even after the engine sat on the ground, I had to undo a few areas on the back of the engine to get the cable off. It just doesn't hang free when you turn the barrel on the throttle linkage and release it. (Stephane, you likely know Myles) he says to do it from the engine also, BUT, just maybe, it's different on a Tip.

 

There is no notations in the Porsche Factory Service Manual to do Tips any different than manuals.

 

About a year later the engine is back in. Again we used Adrian's book as a guide. Some pointers:

- install the flexible orange heater ducts on chassis side while engine is still out
- as you get about 2-4" away you can hook up starter & starter ground, ATF lines.
- go slow we almost pinched an oil line
- if you use 993 c4 mounts you need an extra deep 19mm socket for the engine mount bolts

With the ATV jack and my lift this was very straightforward
