IMS oil leak + oil cooler leak.

Durrr! Of course, didn't even think of that.. I'm going to replace the cam chain tensioners and the IMS one too.
 
made a tool for my 3.4, nowhere near as nice as Alex's - I used a grinder, not a CNC mill!

I made it in 2 parts and bolted them together:

See dimensions here - he used a bent steel plate rather than alloy. Also bear in mind he has a boxster so the engine is backwards.

77szymon - I did the IMS seal flip, see my thread linked below.

I'd be very tempted to just drop the engine if doing the oil cooler and AOS

See here for some great instructions: http://www.kellyanneporsche.com/enginedrop.htm
 
Thank you all for information,

Wasz - nice tool my plan is to do it same way next door I have aluminium manufacturer they do crazy stuff plenty of scrap metal around :lol:

deMort if they done it I think I can handle this job but I'm not planing to change it unless is somthing wrong with it my problem is to secure oil leak on flange and if bearing is ok only take off cover/seal as advised

I'm not happy to drop engine to change oil cooler but my engine look almost the same as from that clip 3:01 it is not as rusted on top but coolant is all over the place I will take a look tomorrow if we have enough space to take it out.
 
Ah i see the difference clear now,top info and advice again thanks chaps. I did think of knocking one up sometime but Alex's look a quality piece of kit. 8)
 
Just out of interest, this tool was the 1st thing that enabled me to survive in the initial stage of setting my business up. You guys don't know how much it means to my current success and I can only thank Porsche and their owners for it.
 
This is amazing Alex your Porsche not only give you so much pleasure but also some kick start in business :thumb:

Ill just say .. thats the very early tools used that can damage the new bearing .. you dont just hit it in with a hammer .. its pressed in .. there is a support plate that aligns and locates it these days .

Bear in mind the oil pump is the other end of this shaft .

Ive done very few of these and i hate doing them , it scares the hell out of me to be honest !

Anyways .. im just pointing out problems i see as always .. if your happy then its upto you :)
 
Thank you deMort I will keep in mind I will try to take off flange today and report later about bearing condition, but what I should ask and forgot about it where I can buy new flange that will fit my car?? or can I some how seal it? :?:
 
Forgot to say - Thank You Alex for tool dimensions, saved me time and ££

so... I did it flange is off and cover on bearing removed, bearing looks new to me or should I say "fresh", spinning without any friction, as you can see on pictures flange has been removed before so bearing could be new, I can't trace if oil was leaking on flange seal but for sure leak occurred on 3 bolts at least 2 of them my question is should I put all of these back together and use some anti seize silkon, new flange-bolts?
