Hi agin,
As cars are quite expensive here in Denmark 20k GBP for a 99 2.5 boxster i definitely plan to keep it for a long time:-)
As I understand from all the reading now My car properly has a double bearing?
The failure rate on these bearings is supposed to be less than 1% .
With the car having done now 150.000 km i am wondering if I am better of just leaving it in?
Alternatively I would install the Double row solution from LN Engineering.
Is the LN engineering solution also a sealed greased bearing ( with the same problems as the original one, ie. hot oil will break the seal and oil will wash away the grease)
if the grease is washed away won't the oil that did it then be sufficient to lube the bearing?)
I have also come to the conclusion that I have a 5 chain set up. As I understand this means that I just have to lock the engine in TDC with a 8 m pin through the front Pully, which of the cam shafts should I lock before I remove the Tensioners ( and which tensioners should I remove?)
Sorry for all these questions , but looking on the web there is several ideas and solutions on how to do it:-)
I will definitely take a look on the starter during this winter, and I might also do the clutch depending on the service history of the car. I am trying to retrieve it from the porsche dealers who have serviced the car. ( I guess that if it has done 150.000 km on the same clutch it could be ready or replacement)
It does feel quite heavy , but it has no slip ar noises coming from it)
Once again thanks a lot for all your inputs:-)
