Saw it last night. Motor out and lines being pinned. Looks to have been pampered. Time to start treating it right.

On some of the wet motors Porsche used a part made by gluing thin wall metal tubes into an aluminum casting. The metal tubes have a bad habit of poping out of the casting and letting all the slippery coolent out in a real hurry. Pining is often done by drillng a hole through the casting and tube, tapping in threads and screwing in a plug/pin that holds the two together by more than glue.

^^^ what he said. Yani has learned from my oopsie where I lubricated T2 for those behind me several years ago. Thankfully everyone’s car control skills were on fleek and nobody went off.
