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?

[Gelbster]

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...............

[fasted911]

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

[Gelbster]

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????

[Gelbster]

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

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????

alright.here is this pic of halves and hardware

[BYprodriver]

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.

[Jake Raby]

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

[fasted911]

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.

[fasted911]

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

[fasted911]

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.
