The "off brands" are often the SAME EXACT PART in a different box/package, hence my question. I don't know whether you're comfortable paying double (or more) for merchandise because it's got a certain label on it, but generally speaking, I'm not. Now, if you've got even some anecdotal evidence as to why this
particular AOS should not or should be used I'd love to hear it... If not, NEXT !

 

I don't know either way. If I knew it was the exact same one manufactured to the exact same specs with the same QA, then I would certainly buy it. I hate the fact that Porsche charges a ridiculous premium.

Or if it were a part that had little recourse of failure, such as an ignition, then I would give it a try.

But since it's an AOS, I'm less likely to gamble.

 

Was yours the Raby with a 4yo AOS?

 

I installed a brand new oem AOS

 

BTW, I got the FMS on making my own tool with a 1 1/4" PVC cap cut in half with a hole cut for the crankshaft bolt to fit in and used it to push the seal in.

 

^NICE!^ when you say "cut in half" do you mean the depth dimemsion? (so the cap is shallower than it was originally?)

 

yes, you need to do that so the bolt will catch thread.

 

Yes it was, and we were about to change it out after the season. Missed it by that much...

 

That's sucks! Sorry man.

 

Well, it was an opportunity for an upgrade. And as they say, that's racing.

 

PM sent to avoid further hijacking.

 

Anytime for a upgrade is good...its only money

 

Need some help with these lines:

not sure I've hooked all these up properly. anyone have good pictures of theirs? or stock diagram?

 

Does this help any?

 

This pic may help too.
