I just did the IMS bearing on my '99 with 73k on the clock. The bearing was as close to perfect as a 20 year old bearing could be. That being said, if you're doing a clutch, the IMS is only a couple...

Thanks. I spoke to Jason on the phone last week. I meant to get back to him this week, but I was busy and didn't get a chance to call. I'll give you guys a ring next week.

I found myself asking this same question while doing the flywheel on my 986 recently. I did a little reading and found that the idea is to get greater clamping force from a smaller fastener. If my...

Happy to report that the problem looks to be corrected. With some minor massaging, I got the IMS recentered, and the new flange installed. I've turned the engine by hand a few times to check timing...

Line blockage? Not an issue I've dealt with on my '99 yet.
My troubleshooting method starts with one question: "what's changed?" Of equal importance is the question: "what hasn't changed?"

It's awfully pretty, bordering on sexxxy, I'll be able to afford one some time around 2030. I got a good deal on my '09, and it's my daily driver and "shop truck" . I doubt many people use Cayennes...

Thanks for the tip, Tony. I've got Phenix bookmarked so I can go that route when this job comes up. I'll keep an eye out for a used one, but if I don't find one the new ones are only about $230.
