About $80 gets you a Bentley manual.. A great source for this kind of work. Not sure what kind of tools/jacks/canisters (for fluid drains) and other odds and ends you have. Be prepared, that there is a reason a shop charges for this kind of work. Ultimately, it just takes time, patience , tools and at least one other set of hands to help. Wish I could offer more help.

Sounds like an "engine drop" party should be your next thread

Where do I purchase this bently manuell?

I have the mechanical know how, and lots of tools and friends who are willing to help. I just have never messed a porsche. I have worked on rx7s, subarus, hondas, fords, but never this. So I think we can tackle it with the help of a book, these forums, and some friends.

I will throw a engine drop party if anyone is in this area. I will provide liquor, food, music!
