Martin996RSR said:I did mine a couple of years ago ('98 C2) and it was a horrific job. I didn't drop the engine or the gearbox and I wish I had. If it ever needs doing again then I'll be taking it to an indy. I still wake up in a cold sweat thinking about that job.
:floor: we should start an AOS survivors support group.
Better to spend a weekend dropping and refitting the engine then 8 solid hours of pure frustration trying to get those $£@% %^&@ pipes back on cursing the day you bought a 911. I've only ever considered setting the thing on fire once in my life and that is when I found I had an air leak from one of the pipes after stitching it all back up.
At least you feel will like you achieved something. Theres LOADs of other stuff you have access to with the engine dropped that you can inspect / attend to if you plan to keep the car long term.
