Bumping this thread so I can access it easily.
Doing water pump and thermostat tomorrow. This job will be a lot easier than what you went through as I don't have to remove much to get to both of those parts.
I read that you used clean engine oil on the thermostat rings. All Data states to use only a water soluble lube like Kluber S06. I'm going to use Ideal water soluble wire pull. You can also use astroglide to lube them as it's water soluble.

I didn't think Porsche sold lube.

Attempted to make a coolant vacuum for the refill, after i gathered all the parts at harbor freight and Home Depot, I realized that I could just buy the Schwaben unit for a few bucks more so I put the stuff back on the shelf and walked out.
Purchased a 5 gallon, low wall catch basin for the coolant and will start digging into it later this evening or tomorrow afternoon.
Surfs up so that comes first.
D, I may want to to text you if I get stuck, if that’s ok?

I started with the Y piece. I for the life of me couldn't figure out how to disconnect the the fitting on the bottom. This guy....
So I removed it with it intact. I first removed the accordion hoses, then pulled the 1/4 turn pins that hold the Y-piece to the throttle body. There is a hose that comes off the bottom of the funky connector on the bottom of the Y that runs down close to the left valve cover. It connects to a hard line with one of those single use hose clamps. I had to cut that hose clamp off to disconnect it. I replaced it with a regular worm type hose clamp. See the hard line to the left/bottom of the valve cover?
Hope this helps.

No sealant on the threads. They go together dry.
