My $.02 on shimming: I've got the early car with the early housing. I know that Porsche would have you update your housing and then use plastic shims to set the element clearance (so it sits properly in relation to the block and housing) but I just simply reassembled using the OPRV alignment tool and tossed the plastic shims away. I figured that the thing had been leak-free for 20 years and it had been the old seals that failed, not an alignment problem.
