This is what the crankshaft and its housing look like once removed from the engine. Now you can remove the main bearing bolts used to hold the housing together to service the crank and the rod bearings.

It shares a lot with the water-cooled 911 engines also. One major difference is the way the Vario-cam plus works. It uses a locking style lifter that basically two parts as the cam has two separate lobe profiles. As you can see in the diagram above when the engine desires low camshaft lift the small lobes open the valve and when more valve lift is needed the locking pin is actuated and the lifter locks allow the valve to open further.
