Thanks, Al. I've used Loctite on conventional engines' flywheels and pressure plates, but I've learned not to make assumptions when it comes to Porsche's flat six, so I included them in the list. You and others on the forum are an indispensable source of knowledge about this engine. Thanks to your kind assistance, I will definitely have the best 986 in the poorhouse!
