Hi folks, newbie here. I posted a thread yesterday in the 997 Forum about a coolant leak in my 997.1 GT3, and I am seeking some advice from fellow GT3 owners on what else I should have checked out while the engine is out. I just realized there is a specific forum for 997 GT3's and I'm not sure how to move the thread so I'm posting a link to the other thread here:

Any help and/or advice will be appreciated!

Thanks,

Water pump, hoses, pin or weld the fittings, get the little Sharkwerks bottom coolant elbows/fittings since the engine is coming out anyways, depending on mileage its a good time to get to clutch and flywheel and rear main seal and transmission mount/bushings as well as engine mounts too. Probably are some other things I am forgetting.

Edit: Fuel filter, spark plugs, belts.

Coolant pipes welded w/ BBI inserts, Sharkwerks oil cooler pipes, replaced all gaskets, seals o-rings, rubber hoses, clamps, new rs4.0 clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, bearing, clutch fork, shaft bearing, front/rear main seals, water pump, expansion tank, expansion tank cap, thermostat, new drive belt, 996 cup short shifter, 996 cup shift cables, Guard club-sport pro LSD, oil change, tranny fluid change, Cantrel transmission mounts, brake bleed, new front lip, fuel filter, spark plugs

You issue is coming. Get this fixed RIGHT. Get the coolant pipes (all 6 or so) Welded or Pinned. Don't just fix the one that blew.

Arrrgh - I wish I had thought about this when my coolant pipe gave it up.

Good post - thank you

Rennlist Motto, if your engine out doesn't cost at least 5 figure you're doing it wrong!

Pay now or pay later :-)
Plus pulling an engine for preventative stuff sucks. You gotta add some cool stuff right?
