I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to really check on her.

Seems like something like that would be a matched set, line bored or something.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I really need advice on what could be a crucial decision. I've suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs...phone rings, but if I answer, the caller hangs up. My wife has been going out with the girls a lot recently, although when I ask their names she always says, "Just some friends from work, you don't know them." I sometimes stay awake to look out for her cab coming home, but she always comes walking up the drive as I hear the sound of a car leaving, around the corner, as if she has gotten out and walked the rest of the way. Why? Maybe she wasn't in a taxi at all? I once picked up her cell phone, just to see what time it was. This caused her to go completely berserk. She quickly ******ed the phone out of my hand and cursed me hysterically, screaming that I should never touch her personal property, then accused me of trying to spy on her. Anyway, I have never approached the subject with my wife. I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to really check on her. I decided I was going to park my 996 next to the garage and then hide behind it so I could get a good view of the street around the corner when she came home. It was at that moment, crouching behind my car that I noticed a crack in the camshaft cover on the left bank. So... is this something I can easily repair myself once I get the exhaust bolts out and not have to lock timing, or do you think I should just take it to my mechanic?

POST 3Original post

Nice... great set up! If the last part is real: The cams themselves are held in by caps cast and machined into the cover, so it is more complicated than a lot of cars where it is just a cover with no mechanical function. I�ve only disassembled this area from a parts engine, so I wasn�t worried about reassembly- and I�m not any sort of authority - I think you need special tools to hold the camshaft down. I would also ask someone smart about replacement. Seems like something like that would be a matched set, line bored or something. I can�t imagine you could just throw another one on there and go, but maybe...?

POST 4Original post

Pretty dramatic until I got to the last part :-(

POST 7Original post

This is easy. You can solve both problems by buying a newer Porsche.

POST 8Original post

Ask for a divorce, and give the wife the car as a settlement. Then buy a 997.1 with a 6 speed.

POST 9Original post

This is an old joke...but a good one. Funny read...

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It�s an old joke indeed. Been around the forums for decades. I figured it was time.

POST 13Original post

A crack in the camshaft cover? I hope i never see the day. Your camshaft cover is unique to your 996 Your post reminds me of this
