Would like to do the same but limited garage space now prevents having an engine on a stand to work on. I'm afraid my cam seals are leaking too. Plan to reseal that area in the car at some point. Gathering tools needed to re-time the cams.
Will be interesting when priming pump. Have read few threads...

No the feeling of no space and tool gathering. Been acquiring stuff for last year! Sissor lift is a treat and expense, but COI over next decade and beyond is well worth it to me.

My scissor lift has been a game changer. Best garage tool I have bought. Nothing is now beyond me.
BTW: I've been on vacation in Japan for the last week. As beautiful as some parts are I could not live long term in houses without a garage, parking space or garden. Judging by the pics from other countries some of you struggle as well. Kudos to those with the Porsche passion making the best of what they have.
It will be all the wheels off and undercarriage work in addition to engine drops that will make me happy with the scissor lift. Now then, I am divorced, so didn't have to negotiate with the wife. May be more expensive for married chaps
I removed/replaced longitude slave cylinder last summer for seal change and used my trusted jack stands, but my face was about 3 inches from the undercarriage for hours... it still may be a bit awkward for center tunnel work, we'll see ...
It's more issues of space, driving up on the ramps everytime I pull back into the garage, and the fact I already have two AC Hydraulics floor jacks and six ESCO stands.

A good set up, short of a lift. I hear you on the ramps. Luckily I have a double garage so the less used car is on the ramps.
Was able to get engine carrier reinforcement prepared and dropped off at welder. Goes to powder coat folks after that.... I would of preferred Ferdinand give me the Beefer Turbo carrier...
This will cost me $325.00 start to finish... Vendor will turn-key this for bit more and think paint not powdercoat...
More cleaning, Intake stacks cleaned, injectors sent out...
bill rader is who i'd send the trans to. ship in a cooler. the big one.
the injectors on my 89 i had rebuilt/balanced by a shop in torrance, RC Fuel Injectors
My engine carrier on the 89 we gusseted as it was bent at both ends. BBI Autosports fabricator did the work and they sent for powder coat. For my 964 I bought one already done from Rothsport.
Installed all new TC box gaskets to cam and case today. Completed cam timing and installed new TC cover gasket and fat Oring kit, covers installed all tasks torqued to spec.
Wow, ordered clutch kit in afternoon, arrived next day before 10:30am from Colorado to California... I installed new TOB as shown in about five minutes the HUMAN press method...
Guess I didn't need to buy the 10 lifetimes of spline lube . Could somebody educate me on what gets the lubricant in a clutch job? When I disassembled stuff I noted lube on input shaft spline and inside friction disk splines and the guide tube with bit of gunk? Implication is inside TOB and outer guide tube get thin coat? Fork shaft ends into needle bearings? Is that it? All with lube pictured?
You are powering ahead. I arrived home from a vacation in Japan and started into the disassembly again, albeit hitting a problem straight up. The socket set I use needs thinner walls to access the four bolts holding the chain on.
