FINALLY Dropping The Engine
After months and months of repairing the car's systems to pass inspection and then months and months later to get my registration and plates I can finally drop the engine on my 102K mile 996.2 C2 Cab. In preparation I've made a few tool purchases to ease my extraction. Here's what I got:
Plan:
Any other recommendations/advice? Of course all of this will be documented and published on YouTube.
- HF Special - Motorcycle Lift along with the transmission lift I already own.
- Ebay Special - Camshaft Alignment Tool Kit
Plan:
- Rebuild top end with this: FCP Euro Kit
- Clutch Kit
- Inspect/Replace IMS Bearing and install DOF mod (leaning towards TuneRS) - Anyone have the bearing tool they'd be willing to lend me?
- Inspect/Replace piston rings
- AOS replacement - Considering Ultimate AOS but it's a bit $$$
- 997 Oil return tubes in sump
- Inspect/Replace Timing setup (only what's necessary) - Do the chains stretch enough to justify replacement?
- Motor mount replacement
- Fuel injector (Clean and refresh only - Bosch injectors are back ordered indefinitely)
- Inspect/Replace spark plug tubes
- Replace water pump and thermostat
- Replace Accessory belt
- Inspect/Replace pulleys/tensioner
Any other recommendations/advice? Of course all of this will be documented and published on YouTube.

Replace all the vacuum lines and the oil fill tube. The oil fill tube may look okay, but they get extremely brittle and can develop small cracks or come apart just as you get the engine back in the car. Oh and +1 on the UAOS while the engine is out.
