I am rebuilding an engine for my other “project” Boxster. As JFP has alluded in other threads, bearing clearances are some kind of Manhattan project-level secret. (Really, all one can find are torque specs and one must pay for even those.) I have Raby’s video and book, but in spite of the cost, he doesn’t reveal anything there. I know all the arguments about the work he has put in, but don’t his competitors already have these specs? We are supposed to blithely and happily drop a set of bearings in the carrier followed by the crank and assume all is good? Anyway, if anyone would be so generous as to provide those numbers, I would be eternally grateful. I wouldn’t even undertake this but I knowingly bought it with a bad engine but got two more bad ones in succession! And should you provide by DM, I promise not to break the covenant of the secret society.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
