Project NUTROD- Porsche Boxster M96 Engine Removal

book reads to change crankcase bolts when you rebuild engine.is this necessary.?the m6 bolts for crank case are steel.(not aluminum)anr torque is
20 NM(15tflbs) .what do you know?

Did you read this?
Engine Assembly

The take home is -no short cuts or economies are allowed.That is why this is such an expensive process.
There is probably a place to buy these bolts for a fraction of the usual price but I have not read any post confirm that nor if they were successful. I really resent paying through the nose for generic parts that Porsche just re-labels but...............

i did= its good,but no specific details. ohhh. m6x30 are 13Nm.i was incorrect the first time.

13Nm ? that is less than 10 ft pounds.

All right ready to unite crankcase half. what type of silicon should I use. what about heads,i know they use head gaskets. can someone help,water pump and oil pump use gaskets as well. any other silicon anywhere else????:confused:

Suggest you search for "curil T" , "3+bond" , Loctite 574.

Yes, it is complicated,yes it's an M96 !

Drei-bond 1209 sealer available at several Porsche dealers these days. Use it for case halves & cam covers. If you have enough left use it for the sump plate cover also. Erling or oem for head gaskets. No sealer anywhere else.

On my book i came across this page notice #1 bolt(cannot find it.) it is a m9x150mm i found bolts #3 & #5 from this diagram.so i when to local dealer and ordered #1.
Question #1-right when i drop bearing carrier in 1,2,3 crankcase half and 2 gaskets are there any more o-ring or gaskets?
question #2 than add 4,5,6 crankcase half than the #1 bolt in center top of picture than bolt #3 & 5????:confused:

alright.here is this pic of halves and hardwarehttp://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1409880492.jpg

Yes just a couple O-ring type gaskets for crankcase halves. Did you get a full rebuild gasket set? There are many O-rings required, Those long bolts have O-rings, before you install the heads, install those 3 long bolts finger tight. After you torque the heads, then torque the 3 long bolts.

You did install the two large cross flow cooling system gaskets between the case halves?

gasket kit
 

I got that. has anyone used Victor-Reinz engine rebuild kit. I'm at the three bolts that you install after crankcase halves come together two of the bolts have black o-rings now.the Victor-Reinz kit doesn't have black ones that size.what do you say?

That's why I use the Porsche gasket kits, they supply oem bolts also. I also bought a Metric O-ring assortment. ;)

yes.but my dealer told me they had no kits.individual only.but that's cool.I've gone though it and i only need a few that Victor-Reinz doesn't have.number 6 piston was a challenge.wow what a thrill.5 and 4 next

cam timeing tensioner
 

Does anyone know if the cam timeing tensioners out of your heads can be rebuild.are theys shops out there.I notice after I took them out one of the ball bearings was missing here is a pic.look at one on the right.http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1411240220.jpg
