slidebite posted:Phone posting, but these are the timing chains on the vanilla M96. They are in the front. I *think* the only chain in the rear is for the IMS. I’m not sure what’s required for disassembly to get at all of them, but the usual culprits are the ones that flex with the tensioners. That diagram doesn't necessarily disagree with one chain in the back -- it could just be flattening the depth of the gear on the rear of the camshaft onto the 2D plane.

Yeah, you're right. One is in the back... and now that I think about it one of my tensioners was back there.

Here's a data point for auto vs manual: https://www.ebay.com/itm/183018621680 997.1 manual Turbo should go for 60, 65k easily. The auto doesn't break 50.

Huh, and here I thought that the purists were all about the rev report and feared the third pedal due to potential of abuse. On the boxster/cayman I saw a few of the auto's listed a few K higher than their equivalent manual versions (for the non S models at least). Probably just a different breed of buyer for the 987's than the 997.

Yeah, the PDKs are really good and actually appear to be at least as reliable as the manuals while having less cost of ownership so it's not surprising if they hold even or pull ahead.

Before I commit, any reason not to get Textar brakes? I understand they are the porsche OEM and can get a good deal on all 4 corners pads, rotors, sensors, etc @ $480 Also, Parts dude recommending only to buy 2 sensors. He says you can typically re-use them but good to have 2 just in case, along with a handful of rotor retaining bolts and caliper bolts.

Yeah I've heard that Textar is OEM so I see no issue in using them. I think that's the brand of pads I got that are sitting waiting to be installed. The sensors I've heard that as long as the brakes you're removing aren't too worn then the sensor can be transferred over. If I'm understanding correctly the sensors are just a NC contact that gets broken when the pads wear to that point. At which point they need replacement. Sensor look cheap enough but I forgot to order them when I bought my pads so I'm just going to cross my fingers and hope I don't break them on removal. The new pads have a small hole in the material so without looking too closely into it, it seems that the sensor is just inserted into the pad.

The culmination of my cupholder project: The ABS plastic is not gonna handle a full fast food Large, but I think half full would be fine. The bottom of the cupholder sits on the console trim, which helps. I have a print with all the burls and lines sanded down, but I thought those added character, so went with the uncleaned up print. Used it today to hold my phone for GPS, which held the phone fine, but it wasn't a great position, naturally.

I'm asking myself real hard "how bad could the bushings in this kit be?" https://www.ebay.com/itm/Short-Shifter-fits-Porsche-Cayman-Boxster-S-911-986-996-5-speed-6-GT2-GT3-C2-C4/192435961152 Pelican Parts stocks a $250 kit where maybe the bushing carriers retain the adjustment nuts instead of having them off the end and possibly without a hex hole to adjust? https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/EVOSSKEVB35.htm?pn=EVO-SSKEVB35&SVSVSI=905#tab3 I have to assume it's not any better made, so the next step up is the $300 B&M shifter, where all I'm getting is precision dimensions and quality bushings.

I have heard not great things about the ebay shifters. I think my C2 has a similar one and it's terrible enough that I ordered a 997 shifter to replace it. I did a bunch of research and the general concensus is that the best 996 shifter is the 997 SSK followed by the standard 997 shifter. The 997 SSKs are really hard to find used and are pretty expensive at ~400 new while the 997 shifters are found under 200 pretty easily for the whole assembly.

This 997 assembly seems to have the same bushing design as the 996: https://ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Porsche-6-Speed-Shifter-Assembly-997-424-010-00/222824613674 The B&M shifter claims to be the OEM short shift supplier. All the SSK designs look the same, so it's gotta be down to the parts quality if there is a difference.

I vaguely remember that most of the aftermarket shifters used metal bushings like the GT3 shifters but OEM 996, 997, and 997 SS use various plastics. I thought most of the complaints with the aftermarket kits were that they were too stiff or notchy compared to the OEM variants so that might account for the feel. The TT isn't the stock shifter and it's incredibly smooth but I haven't pried the boot off to see what it is. Maybe I'll check tonight since I have a new 996GT3 knob/boot that's been sitting in a box for a few months. Now my wheel will match the shifter instead of how the PO stuck on a 997 knob that can't be locked down or mate correctly with the boot.

Pelican Parts carries a Porsche SS kit that fits both 996 and 997: https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/00004470026.htm?pn=000-044-700-26-OEM&SVSVSI=4741 That design looks identical to the B&M and the eBay ripoffs. Is there another OEM 997 SS kit?

The cheap e-bay type shifters have a tendency to break. I know kartboy has like a whole folder of broken knock-offs of his parts. I was going to say I could probably get you a b&m for less than that, but nope, would still be like 310-315ish.

Yeah, seriously. Not only is it the house brand, they rip off other well designed parts but do it cheaply and change materials. Funny thing is I know the guy with the machine shop that made a lot of their stuff. He offered me a whole bunch of subaru shifters to re-label if I wanted. I was like, uh, no thanks, because they're a direct copy of kartboy's part but poorly made and with a track record of snapping in half.

Was considering going to check out this '07 Porsche Cayman with 70k miles. I'm 100% on board with the colors and steering wheel design but it's well within the "get the IMF bearing replaced" range. The guy at the dealership blew off my concern over email about it though. He said the problem was "nonexistent" in the 2.7L engines, which is...counter to everything I've read/heard.

You're pretty much ok with that since it's the M97 engine which have a larger IMS bearing and you have to split the crankcase to replace it. They've still failed but they're rare enough that if the M96 wasn't so bad you probably wouldn't ever hear about it. The smaller engines also tended to have less of the other M96/M97 problems like uneven bore wear.

Used President's day to try to take the mufflers off the 996 for the gundo hack. Used the stock directions: https://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Porsche-996-997-Carrera/46-EXHAUST-Muffler_Replacement/46-EXHAUST-Muffler_Replacement.htm There's a couple errors omitting blind bolts, but that's just to get the bumper and exhaust shields off. Small bolts and no rust. Left muffler came out relatively easily -- the muffler bracket bolts had already been inverted so that you could drop the long bolts out the bottom instead of pulling up and hitting the body. Right muffler's exhaust clamp had much more rust on the bolts, and that's where I got stuck. Tried to split the nuts, but didn't get a clean split, and I don't have decent angles to try every face.   Also tried a saw, but man, even a rusty grade 8.8 is really loving hard. What else should I try? Already soaked the area in Kroil before I started. I don't have anything in the way of torches, though I'm not sure that'd help if the clamps are still fully tight?

You have room in there to fit a die grinder to cut at the bolt between the clamp? Might be worth a shot if you have that. Was the nut rounded off? If you can get a socket on it I'd try that and torque the poo poo out of it and try to get it to snap off. E: another thought. You may not have a torch, but this is part of the exhaust. Drive the car around and get it nice and warm on it's own and then try.

Yeah, it had a good cake of rust, and the moment I put torque on it, it rounded. I hammered on the next size down, but that rounded, too. I ordered an angle grinder and a metal disc. I think there's clearance; just need to be careful.

Buy an angle grinder and take it to the nuts, you'll have the muffler off in 15 minutes (and an angle grinder, which rules).

Local hardware store didn't have the $70 DeWalt, but the Black and Decker was on sale for $20, so I'll start with that. The $100 DeWalt looks a little big for the clearance I have. I'm waiting for the ground to dry up a bit before figuring out a decent position.
