4.0clutch and PP are in already, as well as 996TT rear main seal, just need to go through the coolant weaknesses.

Was going to do all the cooling hoses as well...

Mooty - This is unrelated to the pinning. This part is not likely to fail as soon or as drastically as the coolant line problem that the pinning fixes, but especially for track users, this will eventually break down and fail from what we've seen. If your car is new and has low miles it's unlikely it will fail.

After enough time and heat cycles/miles though, a pin hole leak appears where the o-ring slot is put into this plastic tube and the car will spray coolant once warmed up. As the opening gets bigger the leak will get worse. Our customer lost a gallon of coolant after 3 laps once this little hole appeared and we had to pull the engine to find the source of the leak!

Hey Steve it goes pretty good too

PS Something very silver, mid-engined and cool is leaving here today:P
Thanks!

Cheers man... aye that part is a little weird. Maybe the tooling is old/off some I don't know. Or it's just cheap? Either way it's not my favorite part of 2012:P

Sod it guys I'm going back to aircooled lol

P.J.S.

Just ordered off your website :-)
(Order for Peter Smith)

Thanks

sharkster

Thanks for that Peter it'll go out today!

It's kind of a bummer to be sending so many of these out already;( Seems like so many engines are out of their cars;(

P.J.S.

arrived and as expected - looks to be high quality and has a good heft to it...
well done

thank you

sharkster

Thank you sir... Hah... let's put it this way when James/I were in on a weekend and _finally_ figured out that leak he was not going to replace it with another plastic hose. He might have gone a bit otp but if there's a coolant leak somewhere in the engine it won't be from those two areas anymore

Nice to see a US based company coming up with creative solutions for these cars and most importantly manufacturing the parts in the US under their own supervision. I wish more after market tuners and parts companies were straight up like that. Well done.

shonuf

are these useful on gt2s and turbos?

sharkster

Thank you sir!
On 997 versions there is one like this and then two "other" style ones.

sharkster

hey folks so on the one hand thanks for the support and glad to see these things being used and all... On the other hand I'm surprised so many engines are actually out for all sorts of reasons Actually makes me feel sad!

hey fellas a few of you asked where these two pipes are located.. I'll show you just why the engine has to be removed to install these from a recent 3.9 SharkWerks build:

Good job, but I wonder why Porsche doesn't use these better parts in the first place. They certainly have the engineers that can design them, and we certainly will pay for them.
