I posted this in 996 GT forum but thought it might be good idea to have it here as well:
Ohh.. found a crack in my waterpump housing. It's where the engine carrier studs goes through into the case. The engine carrier is attachded with four studs. It's the surroundings of two upper studs that are cracked.
Anyone seen this before?
Anyone with used spare? My car is 996.1 GT3 and PET shows diffrent number from MY -01 onwards.. I wonder what's the difference to MY -00??
Anyone here who has removed this housing for welding the coolant pipes? Any hints separating it from the case? Should I pull the engine carrier studs to help to wiggle it off? Any clearance problems with crank pulley?
Yeah, had to stop working because I didn't have correct socket for the idler pulley. That's why they are still on.
Now trying to figure out what to do with that cracked housing. Or maybe more importantly.. to figure out if there is any further damage anywhere in the case.
