I have to agree with Wayne. Get the right engine yoke. I am in the middle of a rebuild. I thought I could save 100 bucks by buying a 5 arm yoke from VW Alley. The quality of the yoke is good but the fit was not really suited to the Porsche engine and I had to re-drill mounting holes. The flat mounting surface places a lot of pressure on the flange on the flywheel case. The flat mounting surface also makes installing / removing of the flywheel impossible. I will get through the teardown with what I have, but I will not attempt the rebuild with the yoke I have. So my cheap solution will wind up costing me $300 rather than $200.

I am all about saving money where you can, which is why this is such a good site. So, my personal experience is that the yoke should be specific to the Porsche.
