previously erroneously posted in 996 page :-$ Not doing well...
I couldn't find this in search... apologies if I missed it.
I have a 2007 Cayman S, putting in new clutch. Gearbox is dropped, IMS seal leaking a fair bit and clearly over a period of time. Looks like the very latest Gen 1 bearing with a 22mm bolt into the IMS cover, so the bearing should be bigger than the hole in the engine rear plate.
Logic says I do not need to lock the cams to remove the IMS cover plate and change the seals and have a look at the bearing. The bearing cannot move and the all the internals are fully connected up.
I haven't got cam locking bits and bobs and would rather only get/make them if I really need to.
Can I go ahead and only change the seal without the hassle of locking it up?
Thanks!
