Tighten the bolts down to 8 ft-lbs (11 Nm)." This is from a Pelican write-up.

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.

I want to reuse the three IMS flange bolts. Would Loctite 567 be a good replacement for the "microencapsulated" stuff that originally came on the IMS flange bolts?
"It's okay to reuse your old bolts, but be sure that you coat the threads in a sealant like Curil-T or Loctite prior to installation or they will leak. Tighten the bolts down to 8 ft-lbs (11 Nm)." This is from a Pelican write-up.
I found 11-13 pound-feet on another IMS diy write-up, so I'd defer to your maintenance manual or your Bentley or Knowledge Gruppe book for the correct values.
I was more interested in the sealant to use, but Loctite 567 should work.
Regarding torque, the instructions on the LN Engineering paperwork say:
"...new micro-encapsulated bolts. Use flange sealant on bottom of head of the bolt. Torque specs 7.5 ft/lb (10 Nm)."

- instruction 20.
LN is sending me a set of new bolts.
Yes, agreed.
However, my local Porsche dealer closed up shop, so there isn't any place convenient to grab little things. Everything is internet ordering and shipping.
I didn't think to order these in any of the many large parts orders I've put in lately.
LN is sending me new bolts. Shipping costs more than buying local, if I could.
The best places to buy bolts is at fastener suppliers , most cities have at least one . I've been restoring old motorcycles cars and sailboats for years , never had a bolt they couldn't supply at a much cheaper rate . I typically get a piece of card board with a hole punched in it for each nut and bolt set I need and I write on the cardboard how many of each ,
i just hand then the cardboard with the fasteners I need attached , they disappear in the back and com back with little bags of what I need . Search your yellow pages for fasteners
