James,

I will try that this weekend. Perhaps best would be to put my endoscope there and see. The endoscope has LEDs that will help see in the dark there.

Immobilizing the crank with the plate in the back on flywheel end does not secure it enough, eh?

I know I have an IMSB issue as the nut with part of the bolt has fallen off. Just waiting to see how bad it is and how I can take the bearing out...:-)

And then after that to the next problem...the loose Cam covers that the POs Porsche dealer left loose when they gave it back to him...:-) Doesn't get any better, huh?

Thanks for all your kind help in advance! Will do my part and post pictures!
