As I have not done this procedure yet, yours would be the first, but that should be no reason to fear. I have over 15 years experience in the trade(european repair). Firsts like this come up many times, and I often loose my ass, time wise, but never have had any problems that were not overcome with some careful thought and patience. I have a boxster of my own and am contemplating the idea of a retrofit, or possibly another idea to increase the bearings service life. I work at Daves Ultimate Automotive on south congress. see us at davesua.com. contact me if you want to get together for an inspection or talk about the retro. my name is sean. autodoctor911@gmail.com 512-576-3598 |
Logical thinking, except in the case of these things, when the bearing fails, it does so without any warning, typically, and in the majority of cases where it has failed, the engine is not savable short of a complete tear down and re-build (and even that's if you're lucky and don't wind up with a giant paperweight).
