Just curious...
Why are you pulling the motor? Did you get a professional diagnosis that it is toast? Big chunks of metal in the oil filter? Zero compression? Connecting rods sticking out the side of the engine case? Scoped the cylinders and verified massive carnage? I haven't seen anything in your posts to indicate the motor needs to come out at all. It might be a simple repair for an experienced Porsche tech who knows these cars inside and out.

It would be a shame to remove the motor only to find a failed power steering line that lost fluid. I'm just sayin.......
