Put in a 13 hour day today, enjoyed all but the hours it took to remove those pressed in exhaust flange bolts.
No leaks, all levels seem to be holding steady. Only drove the car for about 10 miles so far, but I enjoyed every minute of it.
Great to have it off the lift, now I just have to clean up the garage!

This is great news... Now you have to change your signature block... You have compression now!
How did you get the exhaust flange bolts out, drill?

Changed the signature, good idea, thanks!
I used a air powered cutoff tool to remove the heads of the bolts and the rest of the threads on the other side. Tried a air hammer to knock them out to no avail.
So I drilled them out. They are made of very hard metal that destroyed a couple very good drill bits.

I know you upgraded the IMS bearing but what other, if any, parts did you ugrade on the motor? Did you install a new water pump?

Lots of stuff,
water pump (old one was fine)
RMS
LN IMS bearing (old one was fine, but the IMS tube was full of oil)
Flywheel (old one was shot)
pilot bearing
clutch set
AOS
Belt
Oil fill tube
Coolant tank and cap
Porsche antifreeze ($28 a gallon, ouch)
Lots of new bolts and nuts and gaskets.
engine mount (old one still intact after 89000 miles)
Royal purple tranny fluid (dealer wanted $39 a quart for Porsche gear lube!)

Have you used Royal Purple befiore? I am using it now and have found that it is a little stiff when it's cold but after it warms-up it is very smooth. In colder climate you might find it too stiff??

Drove a little over 100 miles on twisty back roads today, had to top off the coolant. No drips.
Tranny is shifting fine so far, but it's 95 degrees today.

Did you see any scraping on the water pump blades?
