Default Updated aos bolts?
I have to replace my aos again and i am dreading having to put the bolts back in. Do they have updated bolts that are easier to put in? Like an allen key instead of the socket?


I would assume the $78 aos will be the same a the $139 porsche branded one but without the porsche okey-dokey?


I can't believe that i have to do this again. At least i know what to expect. hell.

So how many miles did you get out of the one that you are changing?

If you know the bolt sizes it should be easy enough to buy replacements for them with allen head bolts from a fastener store.

From here: http://www.autoatlanta.com/porsche-p...section=104-10
Bolts are M6 x 30
Ace Hardware and Lowes have a very good selection of metric nuts and bolts. You could find one with a head you prefer.

^ The record so far, per Ahsai, is a Porsche OEM, which lasted him exactly zero miles.

And you know what? My crankcase measures ~12" of water now
I start to wonder if Porsche has changed the spec on the AOS.
