We have onsite machining. I have mandrels and jigs especially for the M96.

great to know. when i decide to do some head work, i will make the drive. for a flywheel balance, though, that's quite a hike for me! know of anyone a bit closer to the perimeter?

I don't know of anyone else that has the M96 jigs anywhere near here. We have these parts shipped in from all over for balancing.. You are local :-)
(come here and you'll see cars from Oregon, California and Canada)

1) what jig could one possibly need to balance a flywheel?
2) how much $$$
3) if i make the drive, can you do it while i wait?

-The jig thats necessary is made to center the flywheel between the sensor columns of our CN balancer.
-125.00 for balance of the unit including index
-No, we'd need it dropped off, we are in engine assembly mode for the next 3 weeks and do balance work only when we have a free moment. Our next scheduled machining and prep week is June 6-11

New friction surface? Were you planning on having it resurfaced?

At least the guy was smart enough to steal a Raby Boxster and not some run-of-the-mill Box that would blow up on his getaway!
