Does the plastic want to flex as you're tightening those bolts?
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 am not new to Rennlist but am new to the 996 board. I purchased a 2004 AE 996 in February. I have been working on maintenance items and am getting closer to doing the RMS and IMS. I talked with my machinist and he can make the RMS install tool from UHMW Polyethylene rod. The cost of these will be $70.00 shipped in the US. Looking to see what interest there is about needing one. He will make 11 of them which will mean 10 will be available for sale. Let me know your thoughts. A picture of what it would look like. And thank you for whose picture this is.
I'm in...How soon can u get them as I'm putting my engine back together now. I tried to get one from Cheatah online but no go... My RMS isn't currently leaking but I've done everything else so I might as well do it now while everything is still apart
One suggestion I would make is that small recessed hole at 3 o'clock should be drilled all the way through. The hole is to clear a pin on the crankshaft flange. If that hole is drilled through, that would make it easier to align the tool on the flange.
I've never used one of these before. Two questions...
1. Would this work with the newer style RMS (I believe its the 997 version)
2. Are there any type of bolts used to draw it in, or do you just hit it with a mallet?
"2) no bolts. Just hammer. The end result is a direct representation of your workmanship"
Well that works for my mechanical mantra of "Have hammer will travel"... Just kidding... really doesn't work very well with these cars and all their "special tooling"...
I would be interested in one. I recently purchased a '00 996 and am planning on doing some maintenance this winter. I am in parts/tool collecting mode now so not in a rush.
heres some pics of my version, a proto i used on my 996 in the last few weeks. worked great! alas i am n the middle of nowhere in italy right now with bad internet on vacation so wont be filling orders for at least a couple of weeks
Nice! Does the plastic want to flex as you're tightening those bolts? How many turns can you put on a bolt before moving across to the next ? 1 turn ea.?
I am a sucker for tools.
When I bought this I thought it would hold value pretty well, all the 3d printed tools you all are making has me thinking I could be wrong.
no flex, i start with a small tap to engage the seal then screw down. i put about 1/2 turn each to ensure even pressure on the seal
this design was i think revision 5, i like the open design so can visually see the crank end as it goes on.
the part is very sturdy, it should last hundreds of uses at least
These are now ready. Sorry about the delay on these.My daughter was in a bad crash. The cost for these are $70.00 shipped in the USA. Here are some pictures. There are 10 available. Anyone who said they want one will get one. PM me for paypal or Venmo. thanks, Michael
