Proper RMS Installation Article
http://www.cheetahonline.com/rms.html
I created an article showing how the RMS should be installed with the Porsche tool. This article shows it with the crankshaft removed to give a different point of view as to how the seal fits. Enjoy. |
Excellent write up.. A refreshing escape from articles where people use all the improper tools to do the job and think they are being cool...

Thanks.
I just installed a new RMS on my 3.4L transplant with this tool. Most jobs go easier when one has the correct tools. :) I also removed the bearing race cover off of my "large, single row bearing" per my conversation with Charles. My engine is a 2006, and he said that one is not replaceable. I had the updated flange already, so I just bought a new o-ring for it. Oh, I had the oil pump assembly off anyway, so I now have the "Heat Treated 4140 Chromoly Oil Pump Drive" hex in. I figured that any things that I can do on the bench, the better. I can't wait to get this back in the car. My only delay might be that since I am going to 7.8 from 7.2 (2002 Boxster S), I might have to have the dealer update my 7.8 DME that I bough to match my VIN in order to get it to start. I really don't want to tow the car to the dealer for that. Any other way to update a computer in that way? |
Unfortunately, you need the whole car to flash the DME, so you're going to be stuck towing the car.

Thanks for the write-up...a visual always helps when addressing these items. What material is the inner portion of the seal made from; i.e. contact point to crank?
How rapidly does this material wear or is it always crank deflection causing the seal to fail? |
Where can the tool be bought ??
