Hello BY,

I have never disassembled a Porsche boxter engine before, but I know that the heads must be attached to the block with at least 17 or 19mm bolts, does the head have additional smaller bolts around the edges to help with oil control?

I read that you need a special tool to lock the cams, do you need another special tool to remove the heads?

Do you have enough room to replace the head gasket with the engine on the car?

BTW the car is a Cayman, if that makes any difference.

Regards,
Gilles
