    There are very few rebuild shops for the M96/97 engines, even fewer good ones, due to the lack of credible published internal specs and the incredible number of specialized tooling required and a total lack of oversized bearings for cut cranks. Normally, when the internal and external journal and shell bore diameters are good, the only way that the crank locks up upon assembly is either the crank or the carrier do not align true (one of the other is bent).

    Thanks, it doesn’t make sense. I may end up there. Rapidly realizing there’s a reason no one rebuilds these at every shop!

    Something does not make sense here; if the difference between the crank journals micrometer readings and the bearing "cage" internal diameters with the shells installed and torqued to spec is 0.002, there is no way the crank should lock up unless the crank carrier is warped by the new bolts or one of more bearing shells are installed incorrectly. If it does need to be line honed, you should try LN Engineering in Momence, Illinois; they are one of the leading machine shops for these engines.

    In process of rebuilding a 3.2. All new mains, polished journals. Clearance is about .002 I’ve gone to ARP bolts for the bearing cage. The directions say line honing may be indicated. When torquing, all is well, going in three steps. But at the specified torque, 50 ft-lbs, the crank will not rotate. It’s fine at the second step, 33ft-lbs. And of course, I’m in the Porsche wilderness where the local machinist who decked the cases and heads has no fixture to hone the cage. Ideas?

    Interesting. I have not read that in any tutorial. I have only commenters bring it up. im not sure how to unlock the steering if - in my case - the ignition assembly (the gun) is what’s bad. which cable are you referring to release the tension?
  28. Loren
    The steering wheel needs to be unlocked. Pull the cable (carefully) with pliers to relieve the tension.

    I apologize this is so old. 2004 Boxster S Tiptronic. Two answers missing in all of this great write ups. #1, how do you remove the shift release cable from the ignition assembly? I have the clip removed but cannot get the cable out. #2, I cannot get the push button to push down to release the assembly. Yes the steering is locked. Some say it can’t be locked to push it down. Most don’t mention whether it needs to be locked or unlocked. otherwise I am ready to remove it once these two items are figured out.

    There are several stock wheel rims. I think you need to be more specific to the exact wheel size or whether there are other options you are considering. Thanks.
  40. Loren
    Have you scanned the car for diagnostic fault codes?
  41. BenRoss
    Also, when I was driving today and everything was normal, the first ‘blip’ the alarm made before sounding a few minutes later was just after I had to brake hard. Don’t know if relevant but worth a mention 🤔
  42. BenRoss
    A few days ago, I had the car jacked up with the drivers side in the air ive done a couple of hours of driving in it since and it’s been perfect, so don’t think it will be, but is the level/tip sensor thing relevant?
  43. BenRoss
    Thanks Loren, but no. It looks spotless and all connections perfect
  44. Agus
    It worked perfectly, thank you very much 🙏🙏

    Other one looks same. The pin in the guide moves with the bow under the rear window. It's like the pin is being pushed or pulled down as it begins to travel. Just for a bit so it rubs on the lower surface of the guide then it rises enough to be centered in the Guide and not rub.
  46. Loren
    Any chance water got inside the car? The alarm control unit is under the seats.
