I have done that in the past. Just don't put it back down if you raise it unless it heats up to the 60s (and preferably higher) before lowering again.

Hambone, it is not uncommon to have that smoke, but it could be the AOS. At that mileage, if it hasn't been changed, you might do so. The only other caution I would have is if the coolant tank hasn't...

You are at the mileage where I'm pretty sure the source of your plastic is your cam chain tensioner wear pads. I've had a couple of M96s apart, one of indeterminate mileage and the other of 106,000...

What you need to know is that if you go to all this trouble, you may as well put in the 987 airbox. The other thing to know is having done it, I don't see how it is accomplished with the engine in...

MIne is over in storage at the moment (no room at the inn, er, garage for everything) but I don't remember anything on the bottom to secure the unit.

My Cayenne has a discrepancy, but I'm not worried about it. I'm positive it is just an incorrect data entry at a shop that serviced it. Everything else looks consistent with the mileage shown. As...

It's been about a year since I did it, but I remember it is not exactly plug 'n play. I believe I got one of the side bolts in and finally the front one, but the other one never was going to work....

You should go to the LN site. I think they would recommend you replace it at that age.

Reflashing to a 996 tune is possible.
I got a ROW done to eliminate the secondary cats and the air pump.
Alas, I never got to experience the result. The replacement engine I bought seized after a...

Congratulations!
I trust you are aware of the items to watch right away, like the AOS. And don't be afraid to work on it yourself. I've done a lot on my 99 and rebuilding the engine on a 2002 S....

I did use one for disassembly, but it was ...interesting... getting the IMS out.
I was also worried about breaking a boss.

Engine stand

A question for those who have rebuilt an M96: what did you use for an engine stand?
I am all for buying tools--especially special tools--when they facilitate a repair and have future use. But an...

How old is the coolant tank? Had one crap out like yours, but in the middle of a national park. NOT a short, cheap tow!
I believe those tanks are wear items, like oil and plugs.

Rod End Supply has everything you need to make this yourself with no fabrication needed. Just pointing out a resource I've used. I have no relationship with them.
