Dreibond 1209 is all I use. Under no circumstance will I use the Lactate 5900 product. We all hate that stuff with a passion.

K, its in my notes from the online course that that is all you use, but I wasn't sure if we were just talking about the short block then. Thanks.

Also, the cam plugs, any additional sealant required? The gasket that goes behind the crankshaft pulley, is there a special tool to install that like the RMS?

Flat6 Innovations

I use a VERY light smear of Dreibond on the cam plugs. I then let them sit for 5 minutes before install, so they'll get tacky.

Man....cannot get this FMS done. I need a special tool, anyone have a how to for a DIY?

Flat6 Innovations

You need my Faultless Front Seal install tool. It uses the crank pulley bolt to pull the seal into the case. It sets depth too.

LN is manufacturing a few hundred of these as we speak, since I decided to let them sell them. I'll have to check and see where they stand with that.

If it's going to be too long you can borrow mine. I don't personally have an M96 on my build schedule till the middle of June, so you could keep it a few days if necessary. Mine is the prototype from years ago, so it lacks the cool features, but I'll tell you how to use it.

The factory never offered a tool for this, and I don't know of anyone else offering one either..

AWDGuy

That would be great Jake. I will send you an email.

AWDGuy

help! what is the part number for this part?



having a hard time finding it myself and the dealer isn't much help either

Ahsai

It's 99610704751

Searching for Porsche parts while having breakfast...I think I have issues haha

Btw, it's a good idea to also replace #7 and #22 (4 of them on the ends of the two corrugated hoses) as well.

AOS going for $75.00 now? Anyone used this specific part? Feedback? Same part different box/brand?

sweet victory

You forgot to mention #18. Arghhhh

Slakker

Saving $75 on an off brand AOS doesn't seem like much of a bargain.

Maybe it will have a stronger diaphragm?

I was thinking the opposite. If the OE is struggling with Porsche "quality control" how bad will the cheap version be. Truthfully, I think all of the options suck.

Screw it... I'm selling my C2 and my house and buying a GT3!

Well a failed one cost me a new 4.0, so suck it up and get a motorsports one as long as the engine is out.
