EPISODE 32
PORSCHE 996 Bearing Carrier &
IMS Bearing Installation


Episode 32 Summary
I needed superhero levels of help this week......THANK YOU, SUPERHUMANS 🙏 We start off by visiting the Local Porsche dealer and became distracted by a stunning 2021 Porsche Taycan. For a sports car company, they had an overwhelming amount of SUVs in the showroom including the 2021 Porsche Cayenne Coupe and a very sporty-looking Porsche Macan 2021 in a stunning Miami Blue. Sadly we were there only to purchase a new washer and circlip for our Porsche IMS Bearing tensioner. The bank one engine half ended up getting a low-tech bath at the local Car Wash. After a thorough cleaning, the Loctite 5900 sealant came in handy to hold the new coolant gaskets in position. More Loctite adventures with Loctite 574 Flange sealant to hold the Dowl pin in place. The main goal this week was to install the Bearing Carrier into the Bank one engine half. The bearing carrier is very heavy, 90lbs+
I needed help with the heavy work this week!
