Immobilizing the crank with the plate in the back on flywheel end does not secure it enough, eh?

I know I have an IMSB issue as the nut with part of the bolt has fallen off. Just waiting to see how bad it is and how I can take the bearing out...:-)

And then after that to the next problem...the loose Cam covers that the POs Porsche dealer left loose when they gave it back to him...:-) Doesn't get any better, huh?

Thanks for all your kind help in advance! Will do my part and post pictures!

As you are going to be removing the flywheel, securing it will not help you. You need to get that pin inserted in the crank pulley.

JFP,

I was talking about securing the crank with the engine case. The flywheel is already removed. This is if I am not able to get the pin in, just in case.

All,

Seperate question thinking positively ahead... Is using the Pelican single row bearing kit of $165 ok? Reviews seem to be good. Please advise.

Thanks,

Mahendra
