Hi All,
Carrying on form my "A bit of a strip down" thread I had a good day to day and made good progress. I couldn't undo the bolt on the crankshaft pulley to remove the A/C carrier and get to the one cam chain cover bolt that sits behind it :evil: Fortunately with the carrier bolts removed there was enough space to enable me to get the one bolt with cap and rubber seal back into position and tighten it up. I think if I'd had a impact wrench I probably would of got the pulley off, for Porsche not a good design. If they had just machined back the carrier a small amount you would be able to remove it with out removing the pulley.
I also checked my chassis legs, inside and out and........ no rust anywhere
I now await receipt of the lower cam cover gaskets and once received will tackle that job. I did have a go at a few of the hex head bolts but boy were they tight. I was afraid of shearing them off so I'll need to have a re think of how I go about this job.
