911 3.2L Case Repair, I have a few basic questions
I had a major failure in my 3.2L Carrera which required my case to undergo some serious welding, the shop did a great job on both the inside and outside. The location of the repairs is below the intermediate shaft large aluminum gear and front timing chain gear. My repaired case does not leak nor does it interfere with chain or gear cleances. My question is, "Is there any pressure buiild-up in this area that could induce some stress?" My understanding is that these engines are 'dry sump' and that there is not a great deal of pressure in the case while operating, am I wrong? I'm getting ready for the final assembly steps and I want to make sure that I'm not creating another problem. Thanks for your time and support.
Best Regards, Alex

no pressure to speak of in any part of the case except an oil passage. just a lot of oil slinging around.
