    You can see it and feel if it has a too much play, but that is about it. You can use a pick to remove the rear seal which is highly recommended. You MUST however prep the engine as though you were removing it (locked at TDC, cams locked, tensioners removed, etc.) before pulling the rear flange to have a peek.
  2. JFP in PA
    Yes.

    I would stay away from the single mass flywheel for several reasons. Noise and chatter are problematic on the street, and both Porsche an a renowned Porsche engine builder had recommended against using them unless the engine's rotating mass and the single mass are dynamically balanced together. People tend to forget the dual mass is the ONLY harmonic dampening device in the rotating mass, removing capability that can take you to places you don't want to be. The upgraded clutch is also a toss up. For heavy track use, it may have the advantage, on the street, not so much. We have had customers run factory and replacement factory units with excellent street drivability and very long lives. The BBI slave is another questionable. Yes it changes the clutch pedal feel, but installations have be problem prone, including premature failures which the manufacturer continues to write off as due to the wrong fluid being used. But multiple cases have shown that to not be correct. As for your IMS bearing, while they are inspecting it, have them remove the rear seal so it can mist lubricate. We have many running this way with no problems.

    Welcome to RennTech! Beautiful looking car...….good luck with it.

    Check your coolant tank cap, if the last digits are anything other than -04, replace it with a new factory unit.

    Probably either a loose connection or the leveling servo is out. You should be able to activate the system with the Durametric or PIWIS and see what is going on.

    Yes, breakin oil is appropriate. Check with LN Engineering, they have breakin oils in their Joe Gibbs line.

    Fluids, like solid objects, can transmit noise. If the throw out bearing is going south, it can transmit that noise to clutch slave, and forward to the clutch reservoir, which is just on the opposite side of the firewall from the clutch pedal. Put the car on a lift and listen by the bellhousing, if the bearing is bad, you should hear it.

    There is no clutch cable in this car, it is hydraulically operated.

    You isolate the damaged wire section, remove it, and correctly replace it with the appropriate sized and color replacement. To do it correctly, you cut open the bundle, solder in the new wire, apply heat shrink tubing over the solder joint(s) and rewrap the harness. You can replace the entire harness, but you will need a big check book for that; one or two wires and some time would come in a Hell of a lot cheaper. Done correctly, you would have to look very closely to even know it had been touched. Running duplicate wires is quicker, but also a flag saying someone did not want to take the time to do it correctly, and which could turn prospective buyer's off.

    You replace it. This is not rocket science...…..
  12. JFP in PA
    Considering the code definition (e.g.: a short), I would also check the unit's wiring.
  13. JFP in PA
    P2402 indicates an internal short in the leak detection pump, which is probably why it won't run. Usually, it also means that the pump has to be replaced.

    First of all, cam deviation values should only be check on a thoroughly warmed up engine, say after a 10-15 min. drive. Second, if you get the same reading, you have a possible issue as the limits are +/- 6 degrees.
  15. JFP in PA
    Too small a diameter.
  16. JFP in PA
    Looks like an axle flange bolt, but it is too long for that.
  17. JFP in PA
    You may be correct Mike, the "horn" by the battery is for the alarm on UK cars.
  18. JFP in PA
    High Note Horn - Porsche (997-635-206-04) Low Note Horn - Porsche (997-635-205-04)

    Questionable...………...

    Welcome to RennTech As noted above: Fault code 4460 -- Pressure sensor Possible cause of fault - Short circuit to ground/voltage or open circuit in circuit to control module terminals 25, 26 and 42 - Plug connection on stop light switch faulty - Adjustment of the stop light switch not OK - Wiring/ plug connection faulty - Pressure sensor faulty (replace hydraulic unit)

    The manufacturer's set the speedo high for two reasons: First, to keep from being sued if you get a ticket for speeding the speed is reading low; second, to run out your warranty faster. And if you don't think the second is true, there was a class action suit by Honda owners after a TSB stating that was leaked to the public...………….
  22. JFP in PA
    In reality, All north american cars read high by as much as 5 MPH.

    Check your primary battery cables for voltage drop. These cars came with cables prone to internal corrosion which leads to sudden issue like this. You should not have a voltage drop of more than 0.5V on any cable; it it is higher the cable has to be replaced.
  24. JFP in PA
    Not likely.
  25. JFP in PA
    It doesn't have to be hot to get some idea of the compression, and I know of no electrical/electronic systems that would do this, it sounds mechanical...…………...
