While clutch is being changed...
What else should be done while engine is dropped for clutch change? I have a few things on my list and wonder if anyone has some other suggestions. Also, there seem to be some other clutch parts (e.g. pilot bearing, guide tube) listed online that aren't part of my Stage II.5 kit, do these or any other parts also need replacing while the clutch is changed? I'm getting new pp to flywheel bolts (once I can figure out which ones they are, lol).
I plan to do:
spark plugs (hopefully this will save a ton off the labour for the plugs alone)
fuel filter - no biggie
air filter
oil and filter of course
any other suggestions appreciated. I debated about the coilpacks for the plugs but Todd/Proto said to only change them if there was a problem. I don't think I'm experiencing any problems.
thanks all

I'll check with them to clarify. If they're not pulling the engine out I suppose that means it will be full labour for plug change then, right? Perhaps it's okay to change the plugs when the turbos come out for upgrading, I recall reading that the turbos need to come off to change the plugs.
I wasn't sure about the air intake plumbing, is it as restrictive as the 996tt? I recall Todd/Proto saying it was good for about 700whp as is. I won't hit that amount so I was planning to stick with the stock intake.
No lwfw for me. I prefer to do the chattering.

You can do a partial engine drop to swap plugs and coil packs.
The air intakes can only improve flow - they are such a pain to change and swap that if your engine is going to be out, I'd change them.

If your going to upgrade turbos, just wait to change your plugs...Its a very simple job once the turbos are out...I would say it wouldn't take any longer than 30mins to change your plugs once the turbos are out of the way...

I'd pull the coolant lines that are glued in, and have new ones welded to the coolant manifold. Sorry for the lack of correct terminology.
These are the coolant plugs that pop out and require the motor to be pulled to replace the coolant manifold.
