wow, that yoyo video was great, thats the only yoyo video ive ever seen, what a talent, he must get all the young girls (rockin the cradle like that), well today i ordered a crank sensor so tomorrow i will try to start again, the old one came out easy on this california engine,but i tried to remove the sensor from my old engine and it was siezed up had to hit it out with a hammer from inside, not because i was going to use it but just to try and see how easy they come out.. i thought i may have to disassemble clutch and flywheel to remove by the way it came out, i think someone glued it in because the screw was not there because a piece broke off the engine when they took out the screw.On the new engine the screw was loctited in but nothing broke, the sensor almost jumped out of the hole it was so easy. Thank God
I want to thank everyone for your input, nothing went over my head, i asked why replace the relays with new ones because they were all checked,If i were a minimalistic patcher i dont think i would be restoring Porsches and btw i"ve never heard anyone called that in my life, i would be happy to give anyone expert advice for free with body and paint,installing seals,glass and promise not to insult you in the process,.i posted the question written by a retired Porsche mechanic who was using a WSM diagram, Maybe misprinted I didnt check yet, any way he was on the right track, hey anyone can make a mistake,no reason to insult anyone on a public forum.

Hope it all works for you and good luck. Best not to respond to any insulting comments. Just let it go. Some here are real experts others not and maybe some get frustrated with what they consider stupid questions. Most people are quite nice and willing to help. It's all about the 928 and keeping them running.

well great news , crank sensor cured the problem, the car started right up, what a relief,no leaks ,no drips,although the clutch has an imbalance i am not surprised, many things went wrong there,i over torqued the bolts till one finally snapped, and lost my position of PP to IP, put it together any ways i should have had it balanced, well it will be easy to do now because ive learned my lesson, this was my first engine swap-reseal-TB_WP-clutch, its all pretty simple and i enjoyed doing it,buts its time to get back to reality and work on customers cars,, Thanks again for Everyones help oh i didnt put the clutch together with the snapped bolt but i think i may have stretched others or bent the flyweel because some bolts came further through than others torqued at 16
