I'm a first time rennlist poster and first time 993 engine dropper due to wore out clutch , and leaking oil like a torpedoed super tanker. I'm afraid of tightening the two nuts too tight and damaging engine to trans studs. Or worse ? Seems like a very heavy duty yoke. But just two bolts holding up that 3.6 makes me a bit nervous ? Anyones help is appreciated
A little bit less than the torque specs of the nut holding the transmission to the engine? I just cranked mine tight. It held up for the 6 months it took to rebuild mine.
As long as you are using the correct engine yoke (p201) the bolts only need to be snug. The actual yoke supports the weight of the engine not the studs.
My spacers were not as elegant as the ones shown by Alex...

The correct engine yoke and clamp makes a difference.
A local 993er that I help out a lot in his shop has a low dollar aftermarket yoke which rotates in Harbor Freight engine stand.
There are two things going against it.
1) the shaft diameter of the engine yoke is smaller than the tube in HF engine stand. So you get two contact points for high friction and lube is useless.
2) the shaft of the engine yoke isn't even lined up with the center-line of the crankshaft. It is off by at least 3 inches.
Those are the reasons why it is so hard to rotate and also why it won't stay in any one position other than one.
I bought the P201 yoke and 313 clamp. No curse words needed.

Steve, I didn't have time to stand behind my lathe and chances are I would have needed that socket that was used as a spacer...I bought those from Stromski.
Having the right tools really does make the job easier.
The thought of having my engine connected to the yoke that came with my engine stand causes shivers up my spine. $xx,xxx worth of engine on a $20 yoke... No way!!
