986/ 987 Torque Specification Book? Is their a demand?

Jake This is a great idea and I would take the first off the press! The only thing that would make better is if it had the recommended sealant, anti-seize or thread locker listed.

The fasteners for these engines are micro- encapsulated, so sealants are not necessary. My engine rebuild book (to be released at the Porsche Literature Meet in 2016) will have some pointers on the items that you brought up.

I had originally tried to include all the torques for the engines in my rebuild book, but it added too many pages, and on top of that, the rebuild book covers M96 and M97, so it would be confusing. With the separate directive things are much more stream lined, and specific.

Jake, I would be interested on the Torque Specs for the 987

I have one question: Does the torque required for a micro-encapsulated fastener and a regular fastener used with Locktite varies, or the torque value remains the same?

Thanks!
