600nm or 442ft-lbs IIRC. The torque multiplier is 3.5:1. You also have to back the nut off (60 deg I think) after the initial torquing and then torque again. I assume it’s in the manual; but I don’t know. There are a number of YouTube videos on it also.

Congratulations on the wedding! Hopefully a nice 911 to come home to when you return from your honeymoon.

I really don’t care that much. I’m blessed with a Porsche to drive. I feel like Porsche has found that the demand is there from customers. They are in the catbird seat.

Thanks, all, for the input. I'm going to contact my dealer and see what he has to say.

Lesson learned here. I sold my 718 thinking the 911 will be ready in July only buffering in a one month delay. That was really dumb move!

Fingers crossed all make it. For those on the Conductor, hoping for smooth seas and steady tailwinds.
Hoping that all who didn't make the SFL Conductor DO make the Seim Confucius!

At least it's a much newer ship and the color matches your 992 better.

I think the Confucius is one of the first ships I missed back in May. 😀

Hopefully you won’t be without a Porsche for too long. I’ve thankfully kept my Panamera all this time that the 911 has been delayed but gonna part ways soon since the 911 is on a ship headed my direction. Looks like I won’t get it until mid-July though so will keep the 971 a bit longer.
