Default 992 Engine accessibility
Looking at (drooling rather) some of the pics from members who've taken delivery of their 992s, other than the fans and fluid funnels not much of the engine seems apparent. Do the fans get disconnected and lifted out to access the rest of the engine (fan belt...) or is everything accomplished from underneath/engine drop?

I have some major mods I'm intending to do to this vehicle as it will be my last of a long list stretching back to a 61 Corvair, 356SC, 911T, 728 BMW, VDub Westphalia (with the 2.2L 911 engine I swapped every summer to go camping in Europe) and my all time favorite 383 Roadrunner. So just curious as I don't have a dealer to go look. TIA

Anything "major" requires the removal of the rear bumper and the car to be lifted off the ground for access.

Nearly everything (save addition of some fluids) occurs from underneath the car.

Isn’t it similar to 991 access?

Access to the oil filter is fairly straightforward. Removal of the plastic shroud and right fan. Not sure beyond that . . .

Thank you. As I said I don't have a dealer within 350 miles and even if I was closer they don't have any 992s sitting in the lot.
