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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've been having trouble finding the torque value for bolt #7 which is one of two that holds one half of the 996 motor to the crankcase piston rod and bearings assembly. Does anyone in the RL wealth of technical knowledge know the torque specified in the maintenance manual? Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

POST 2Original post

You should pic up a copy of "Fastening Specifications, Porsche 911 (996) Automobile" from The Knowledge Gruppe. According to page 15 it is the "Crankcase to bearing housing" bolt and requires 22nm (16 ft-lb). Edit: Woohoo!! I got to use the book and be helpful for a change!

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

gnat, thank you and much obliged for your assistance. I will definitely place the said titled book in my Xmas list as another must have for the Garage.

POST 4Original post

normally if you cant find a torque spec, you use the spec for the bolt size. find anywhere in torque spec for ( 8MM bolt ) example

POST 5Original post

Be sure head bolts are torqued 1st before torquing that bolt.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
