It would be really nice to know how tall the engine is so that the rest of the forum can make an assessment of their ability to get the engine out.

After reading this post it’s still not clear toe whether the Quickjack lifts the car high enough to get the engine out.

Small Brown Bits in the Oil Filter

I helped a friend change the oil in his 98 986. I notice a few small brown plastic bits on the oil filter. I’d say about 10 bits. Are these cam pad bits and is it something to worry about?

I would use the Mobil 1 Synthetic GL-5 oil. I’m sure the Porsche branded oil is good too but probably not any better than the cheaper Mobil stuff.

Remove the passenger seat

Hi,

I want to remove the passenger seat and put a small dog crate there for my dog. I’m guessing that I will get an airbag light. Can I remove that light with the Durametric once I put the seat...

Lol! That’s what I’m thinking. Maybe to the point of causing a lot of smoke. He went through a clutch in 10k miles.

I’m looking at a used 01 and I’m going through the service records and see wording that says the customer brought the car in because he saw “flames coming from drivers side intake” and the...

The .75” bolt I took off wasn’t part of the water pump assembly. Please ignore this post.

97 Boxster 986 I just took my water pump off and didn’t keep track of the bolts. I’ve got one .75”, five 1” and two 1.25” bolts. From my research the two longer bolts go on the holes with alignment...

Consider the shifter linkage replacement offered by Numeric Racing. It’s been working well for me for awhile now.

Most likely a mistake by the shop who recorded the mileage that Carfax reports. If you're going to cheat on the mileage you wouldn't worry about 20k mi.

The husker is making sense to me. I've offered him $8.5k and he's silent. He's probably waiting to see if someone else will come along thinking he's got me in his back pocket.

Yeah. I offered him $8.5k and he's stuck at $11k. Thanks for the responses. Good to hear we're in the same ballpark.

Value of a 99 986 with 56k mi.?

I'm looking at a 99 986 manual with 56k mi. Carfax shows an accident and front end has been repainted. It needs all service based on time; coolant, brake fluid, oil, transmission, power steering,...

The poster appears to have an engine stand that is a few inches off the ground so it’s not clear to me that the quickjack is t high enough. It depends upon how high the engine stand is.

It’s clear at this point that the signal that drives the relay isnt getting there. There’s a signal that “throws the switch” (relay) and it’s not getting there.

Yeah, large power output numbers are easy to achieve if distortion isnt considered. I’d rather have a lower power amp with good distortion specs than vice versa. It’s more useable power.

Completely agree that “lifetime” is a misnomer. One has to understand the definition of “lifetime” and it isn’t from now until the Sun burns out. It’s typically 10 years or 100k mi.
