Had some nice weather today, and did some cleaning and looking around.
In the service notice Porsche mentioned sealing the casting demple that is inside the space that the cooler fits into. I'm wondering if it's a good idea to also fill the corresponding demple on the aft side of the cooler.
Also, while in there Im looking at doing a heater back date. The blower and most hoses were removed before the car came to me. This was fine in Hawaii. But now some heat seems like a good thing.
I've found that our host does offer the right side shroud outlet port, but I haven't found a pass thru piece for the tins to get to the heat exchanger. Any leads for that piece?
This is a plugged piece that is in place.
I made a troubling discovery while cleaning the built up oil on that side of the engine.
Found evidence of an old crack in the case that has been touched in the past.
I've not seen leaking there, but then I hadn't noticed this crack before either.
What should be done about this crack? Put back in the car and watch it.
Find someone that can weld it, would the engine have to be completely disassembled to do welding in that spot?
Thanks for any input.
Cheers Richard
