Search for more than 2 hours without any luck.... One of 6speed member took out the engine in his garage. I remember he had the back of the car up in the air with two floor jacks and the engine was on the ground. I remember also that he had the cam timing done at the dealer because of cam tooling too expensive. He also found little wear on his intermediate shaft bearings...Can you help me to locate this thread..... Many thanks, J.P.

 

Was this it?

Thanks earl... This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks and Happy New-Year!

 

I just looked at the first page on that thread and that looks like a very scary way to drop your motor. Lifts are cheap. And I think Baum tools sells the tools needed for the cams now not sure about the tool for the piston/ sleeves though. Good luck.

 

I just bought the entire kit for a friend, 996 and 997 complete ... around 1500 nice pieces tough

 

Wow I bought the Porsche stuff years back. 1500 is a fraction of what I paid. One local dealer was going to rent me the tools and keep my CC on file just in case then when that day showed up they said one of the other dealers in the area needed it and then the blah blah started.. I bought my own through a dealer out of the country as no one had a part number or even would return a phone call about it. Even two cup teams I know could not get the tools. They send their motors back to Porsche motorsports. Well now that's behind us..

 

Do you have a list and part# of tools needed.... I guess your kit did not include the cam timing tooling ?

 

Actually it did, I got 2 kits for that price, I dont have the part numbers here with me, but I can check tomorrow ... I bought it from Baum tools.

 

Thanks a lot it would be really useful. I got no luck with Baum. I am trying to get the catalog and never got any answer... Last fall, on my last oil change, I have found some metal and bronze flakes. Not too many but enough to alarm me and now I would like to be ready for an eventual engine deep dive... Thanks again for your help, J.P.

 

Not a problem .... better be safe than sorry. A rebuild with the motor ''alive'' would be much cheaper than a blown motor or spun bearings.
How many miles are you at right now, and what kind of power do you make ?

 

I was checking their website and saw the kits that I got ...
#B9612K-Plus

and I got another case with a few tools, that I can't tell for sure.

they were helpful and professional on the phone, and I got everything next day as I'm also in Florida.

 

I got just under 50,000 miles and my car is completely stock. I am the third owner. The previous owner did only 2000 miles with it but the original owner push it really hard. I discover that after buying a Durametric.
type 1 overrev: 65535 (which is the maximum an ecu will record!!!!!, it won't go over that number !!!) and Type II only 67....
But the car run strong and since I switch to Castrol Syntec 5W40 the engine is more quiet at idle, no more growling on start up no more delay on oil pressure build-up....

 

which would be the RPM numbers on those overrev 1 and 2 ?

 

A flash will let you rack up the type 1 over revs as most flashes raise the rev limiter. Not the end of the world.

 

I am not too familiar with the tool needed for a complete overhaul. But I remember when "imagine auto" was alive there was a complete overhaul explanation and they had two plates for cam timing. Looks like the Baum tool # 9661 just above your kit in the catalog.
I still got the imagine auto page save on my computer (mac) as a Safari archive web page but don't know if it is possible to transfer this document. If you are interested just let me know....
