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.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

As I proceed with my engine rebuild, I will need to mount it in such a way to be able to drop the IMS into the crankcase, then add the other half. When I tore it down, I used one of the standard ones buy it doesn't really fit the bolt pattern of the M96. I know there is an adapter made for the air-cooled engines. I found some for the M96 but if, and that's a big if, there is one in stock, it is $700. That seems a little outrageous, even for something Porsche-related. What have some of you used for this purpose?
