What to do while the engines out of the car?

Great stuff! Did you replace the seals at both ends of the crank? I've been agonizing over whether to do that on my 3.2, but they're both dry and I'm tempted to leave well alone, despite it being the easiest time to replace them...

I did the one behind the flywheel. I used an oem Porsche seal. Removing the original required ingenuity and cursing.

I didn't do any work at the other (fan) end.

I also did the triangle of sadness, and rebuilt my a/c compressor ad well as ran all new hoses, new evaporator , receiver, etc. I'm old and I'm sick of sweating my balls off in August.

I also put in a radio with a screen and a backup camera...this is a safety thing for me, I have young kids, and lots of young ones in the neighborhood. Wiring that was a challenge but it got done.

My to do list is getting pretty darn short on this thing.

I recommend using the oem Porsche seal for the flywheel seal. I used the other one (a few bucks cheaper) and had immediate leaks. I replaced it with the oem and the engine is now dry.

By the way, to get the old one out, use a punch - insert the end into the notch at the rear of the engine (the top of the seal) and give the old seal a good whack. It will deform the seal enough that you can easily get it the rest of the way out with a screwdriver

Glade to see you got her back on the road. How about some pics of the finished product and or while you were building. It's a motivating thing.
