As I stated earlier, I am half way through my project, but in case others want to do it I am posting part numbers for 5 hard / impossible to replace hoses without pulling the motor.

996.106.512.72
996.106.529.71
996.106.477.73
996.106.233.72
996.106.328.72

This will save you some ordering time.
Some pics for you critical viewing pleasure.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Very nice of you.

 

Motor is reassembled, all nice and tight. About 12 hours of labor, $1400 in parts and $50 in supplies so far.

 

now is a great time to replace as many hoses, vacuum lines and check valves that you see. easier to do it now as a preventative measure than later when the motor isn't as easily accessible

 

Perhaps you can suggest some part numbers, or at least pics of what to replace.
Hoses are like new, perfectly firm, yet elastic. I treated all with silicone and replaced some vacuum lines.
Here is my list of replacements:

water pump
thermostat
fuel filter
drive belt
voltage regulator
new OEM clutch
flywheel bolts
rear main seal
clutch slave cylinder assembly
spark plugs
orings and gaskets

I found everything I checked in impressively good shape, as if she was never abused.
Please advise where else to look.

 

its not a matter of abuse but rather age. 10 yr old rubber hoses and vacuum lines may deteriorate on the inside but look fine on the outside

 

You are right, will order the rest of them.

 

congrats on a job well done and thx for the helpful posting.

 

There is a check valve at the top that comes off the plenum (driver's side I think). Also a 3 way valve under the plenum. How does the coolant tank look? If it hasn't been replaced may as well get a new one as it'll probably crack soon (also get a new radiator cap).

Might want to do the oil pressure sender too

 

Will replace valves, coolant tank is new.

 

Make sure the cap is also new. When I got my car it was an outdated part number, I replaced it with a new one from Pelican and 3 months later the dealer did a pressure test for me and told me my new cap was also bad :/

 

Engine looks happy! very nice, well done! -
