Then verify the cam is in the correct position. I checked it with the cam lock, but couldn't hold it there and take the picture at the same time. You can sort of see the slot in the cam is aligned with the seam in the cam housing.

Anyway, it checked.

79,xxx


That's weird. I wanted to post just "79,xxx", but it wouldn't let me.

Must be at least 10 characters.

OK. Flywheel bolts came today.

Interesting. The old ones were Torx T50 and the new ones are Torx T55.

No matter.

Here's my non-factory flywheel lock:

Were already posted, but I'll say again: Generally good, but the IMS was filled with oil.

The new clutch didn't come with a centering tool. Since this is my first 986 clutch, I didn't have one.

Fortunately the pilot bearing is the same size as a 901 tranny.

Just the right amount of 3M blue tape and we're in business:
