The format of this book can save the user valuable time on almost every 996 repair task, as each assembly, and sub- assembly is referenced with illustrated parts breakdowns, with each fastener identified, and torque values specified."
Leading evidence: 'Repair task, as each assembly, and sub- assembly is referenced' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Repair task, as each assembly, and sub- assembly is referenced' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suggestion
This information is required really when using torque values
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

This looks like a very useful book (edited by Jake Raby, the "Baz Hart" of the US) as it shows all the types of nuts, bolts, screws and other fasteners with diagrams on all 996s (there is one for 997s too) - the 996 forum on Rennlist seem to like it:
"Fastener size, grade, assembly position and tightening torque. Lacking this publication, most technicians find themselves looking through pages of workshop manuals to search for fastener torque values that are well hidden; at times they cannot be found at all. This publication makes these fastener torque values quick and easy to find. This book, a reference handbook for the technician, or enthusiast proficient in Porsche repairs, presents illustrations of Porsche 996 subassemblies and their fastener torque values. This directive covers the entire vehicle, including all engines, and transaxles, suspension and sub- assemblies. The format of this book can save the user valuable time on almost every 996 repair task, as each assembly, and sub- assembly is referenced with illustrated parts breakdowns, with each fastener identified, and torque values specified."
It only seems to be available in the US for $60+$34 shipping (c£70) http://www.theknowledgegruppe.com/index.php/product/996-torque-book-fastening-specifications-for-porsche-911-type-996-automobile/[/img]
Anybody bought one/seen it?
I was considering this. I'm obsessed with torque settings when doing stuff, probably from working on motorcycles. I've found that most things are available on line if you type in the item and torque, renntech site if I recall. Shame there is no uk version. The settings in there and on renntech are often lbft rather than nm just to be careful
It's maybe on the renntech site. They work in lbft in the US. Does the book show fastening details, like dry or with anti seize? This information is required really when using torque values
Acording to Jake Raby, the author: "The 2005 Launch Edition Carrera S may technically be a 997, but the cars have many 996 characteristics. Though only 337 were made, they are more fitted to the 996 category than the 997. I have one here now that has a hybrid 996/997 interior."
And from Rennlist: "The Launch Edition are identical cars that PCNA had produced for the each dealer (one) and were used to introduce the new model. In 2005 it was Black 997C2S with PCCB's, Full leather, Nav, Bose, SC, and a few other little options."
So there you have it, something I didn't know either.
