remjjensen - thank you very much for this terrific write up. I probably would not have tackled the job without it. It took me about 1.75hrs start to finish.
A couple things I picked up - the security Torx bit for the small bolt holding the cable bracket on the back of the head on the driver's side is a T30. For the small reverse Torx nuts holding the coil packs on were on there with about 50 in-lbs of torque.
Thanks again!
I have order original spark plus from Sunset Porsche and do i need to gap the plugs? Thanks
It's the screw that holds the spark plug coil in place. I know the dealership did NOT replace mine when they did the 30K spark plug change. I will be replacing them at 60K change.

Part #2 on this diagram.
So only these screws 94810514600 ?
There are a lot of aluminum screws on heads covers, intake manifold.....
Sorry about the confusion - I was replying to the DIY spark plug job only. There are several screws that are suggested by the service manual to replace if removed.
This is the info I have for the S,4S (which is based on the V-8) for the head cover.
Just changed mine at 32,000.
I did manage to drop and lose one screw which holds cover down, not an issue. The two rear plugs are the only difficult part of the job, unless you drop something. Seems to run a little better or maybe just my mind.
FYI, on the rear plugs I found it easier to drop the socket down the hole first and then plug the extension into it and the same when pulling it out. Put a thin screw driver down the hole to pull the extention off the socket and remove separately. Also used one of those little magnets on a stick to get socket and plug out. Good write up because you really do need to take all that other stuff off to get into those rear plugs.
checked there, but saw best price on eBay. Amazon had 4 plugs for under 40. PTT needs 8 of them. Found 8 spark plugs Bosch FR6 NPP 332 for total 69.92 including ship. Ordered Friday am, arrived Monday.
Always sort ebay by price lowest first to see whats cheapest. default option is best match vs search string.
