Pac996

The pictures will give you an idea of setting the timing. This is just for one side/bank.

You guys are distracting me from my Tsunami time

Dharn55 I hope your timing problem got fixed.

Thank you Pac966,

I understand that to be sure I have to check the timing. I'll spend more time to change the IMS bearing than I thought (completely my fault) but It is going to be a new thing to learn about my "little frog"

Thanks again

What a great thread ...wish I could input some technical advice to help but like you my mind is still stuck under the hood of an Audi....Im getting better and thank you, thank you, thank you to those who praise these cars and fight the idea that every 996 will implode from a dreaded IMS issue!!! Its painfull to even come on rennlist sometimes regarding these IMS nightmares.

BTW I cant wait to install my new coolant tank.... (hariline crack that appears when car begins to get hot in traffic). New cap too Gonna learn how to lower engine.

Pac,

Shouldn't you be busy putting water wings on your 996 right now?

Jake, I am one of your clients.

I purchased the special extracting bearing tool, and 2 packages (bundle) of spin oil adaptor + billet oil filter + magnetic drain plug from you for a friend of mine and me

I'm going to do the retrofit, but I finally decided to proceed to do a similar task :

I ordered to make a reinforced hand made bearing support to a professional lathe operator. He's going to make a 12 mm high quality steel bolt instead of the 8 mm OEM bolt, and asked him to adapt the 3 flange end piece to the new bolt caliber as showed before in other message (from soloporscher barracuda).


This is a pic in which you can see the bearing support design:



I'll get it done tomorrow, and after that, I'll leave my car to my confident specialist mechanic.

I'm going to report this "custom made retrofit kit installation", and you'll have news...



After reading and talking to several oil experts, I decided to complete "the engine protection" with Valvoline Racing 5W50

I'll never use Mobil 1 at all. There is a huge difference.
Another excellent oil to protect your engine is Motul 300V 5W40


Carles is a very high reputed soloporsche fellow, and we are very glad to follow his explanations.

regards from Spain

We are serious. We don't know.

I think its best that way.

I think he was McGiver on the TV series, and changed his name to Macster to be anonymous...... until now!

Eharrison

He was born from the loins of Chuck Norris. No female needed.

See, because his Dad was Chuck Norris.

The reservoir install into a MkI is apparently much easier than into a MkII. My understanding is that the install can be done without resorting to the partial engine drop.

In fact my indy says the MkII can be done without dropping the engine, but I've done two of them now and I can't imagine how.

I'm expecting to have the LN retrofit kit during this week, Once I have it I'll do the update. I'll check the timing as well.

Juankimalo: Thank you for your support. It's nice read your words around here!!!
