Here we go. 19877 Turbo, 944. Well my oil plan gasket is leaking pretty bad. So I am going to do the following:

1. getting a Lyndsey racing baffle welded in with the extension on the pickup tube.

2. New gasket

3. I will also add the three piece cross member.

4. I know the #2 bearing fails prematurely but from what I have read these will typically go 160,000 miles before doing so. I only have 65,000 miles so I am going to leave the bearings alone. I should add I will be doing a few track days and running autocross but maybe 4-5 times a summer.

My first question is should I change engine mounts while I am there. No vibrations at this point. I will probably measure and inspect when I pull the crossmember. The issue I have here is do I really need to use Porsche OE mounts. Wow they are expensive. What experience do you have with the others being sold out there? I see there are mounts made by URO, Hamburg, Rein and possibly others. The cost difference is huge. the OE mounts are $215 a piece.........

What else should I do while I am in there?


Thanks.
