Sweet! Check over everything rubber and plastic on top of the engine while the engine is out and replace anything that looks even remotely questionable.
A good idea to replace the plastic oil filler tube as they often crack from age and are difficult to do in the car b/c of the metal oil dipstick tube that runs inside of it.
My front main seal is leaking, I could do it really easily with the engine out.
Also, I don't know if the motorsport crankcase breather would be a good idea?
I did mine engine in the car. It wasn't very hard to do. I did make a driver tool for the new seal out of a piece of PVC notched to clear the rear sheet metal, there's a photo of it I posted around here somewhere. Also much discussion on avoiding the "upgraded" 997-GT3 style seal which tends to re-leak and sticking with the 996-GT3 original style seal.
I saw your posts on the topic and they are really well done. I will definitely use them as a guide to do mine - thanks!

She is finally getting the waterlines welded (on a new water pump), plus RMS, a new clutch, flywheel, coils, plugs, etc etc
What clutch and flywheel did you go with? Planning on doing engine out PM when I do the coolant lines within a couple months. Good suggestions on here.
