Found Oil Inside The Water
wooz797 replied to jijioz's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
would these cracks in the head cause an "oil in water" issue without a oil contamination? I ask because Im having the exact issue jijioz had. I have replaced the oilcooler and I still have the intermix issue but the oil is pure oil no water. Im perplexed as to what other causes there could be, with the oil staying pure oil. -
if you remove the cover behind the rear seats (carpet wall) you should be able to see the moter/transmission for the cover. There is an allen key provided there its red handled and you can open the cover manually, I think its counterclockwise (and its in the owners manual). once the cover is openedpush it back down manually and tighten the allen-3 turns (left handed thread) or the opposite way used to open the cover. then try to operate roof normally.

I think i have my missfires cured, I had the plunger beneath the variocam solenoid upside down (never should have removed it firstly). Removed the Oil cooler and pressure tested it, I saw no bubbles from oil side. But i figured at temp it may be different and leak, so ive ordered one anyway. Went ahead and pulled the head off bank 2 still no water in the oil but the water passages were very milky, pulled off AOS and it was full of oily milky stuff. So now Im just waiting on parts. still no smoking gun as far as the oil mixing with water. Any ideas on the AOS getting so milky with water oil mix yet the oil sump is pure oil? thanks guys

so i got the car back together on friday and drove it home. cel came on and still have the missfire codes for bank 2. The missfires only occur at idle, I cleared the codes and was able to drive 5 or so miles without having to idle and no cel. As soon as it idles i begin to get missfires. I thought maybe a vacuum leak near bank 2, since those generally are overcome off idle, then i decided to look at the coolant -- full of oil. SO im thinking i need to throw a head gasket on that bank. Not being entirely familiar with porsche is there any other place i should check for example the radiator on traditional vehicles generally have a oil cooler built in. Any thoughts and insight would be appreciated. should i just pull the motor and refresh it (160k miles)

darn, they dont have much life to them. Im wondering where my missing one went. I see no debris on the head, i was going to check the sump pan, anywhere else the debris could get?
-
It was really pretty easy, compared to a later m97 (put a cam in one 2 weeks ago), I didnt even remove the wheel, no clearance issues, you just have to be careful with the exhaust lifters they like to slide out and bounce. Im debating whether to replace those pads or get a new tensioner element its pretty chewed up.
-
well we were slow today so I decided to pull the cam case off and look at the tensioner. Sure enough the slider one the external tensioning element is gone. The chain was riding on the metal pad on the tensioner, Im glad i didnt run it after getting the codes to show. I think this is what txhokie was mentioning thanks a ton. I have a pic ill try to post.

the vehicle idles but fluctuates about 200-300 rpm. higher rpms it seems ok but thats without a load. i havent taken the car for a test drive yet. Im hesitant to drive it. The 325 code translates to a p1324 generic obd code. I do know the engine has never been apart but with 160k miles thats a lot for the m96. I plan to check mechanical timing on bank 2 next week when my lift is open. I think i will swap the cam sensors like you suggested thanks

I just aquired a 1999 boxster 2.5 5spd. Check engine flashes and eventually stays on constantly. I used the piwis tester and pulled codes 66,67,68 53,54,55 and finally a code 325. Code 325 mentions exhasut and intake cams allocation incorrect bank 2, anybody have any insights into what I may be facing. I would love it to simply be a sensor issue but im worried about a mechanical issue with the timing. Thanks for any insights or checks i should make. vehicle runs well but missfires at idle.

2008 Cayman Check Engine Light? Newbie
wooz797 replied to wooz797's topic in Cayman, Cayman S (987C1)
yeah that would be his best bet. thanks for the info -
I pulled the codes on a friends cayman (2008) and the only code shown was p0016. I am very unfamiliar with the porsche piwis tester, but saw something about intake camshaft timing not matching with the crankshaft? Any thoughts as to what the code is suggesting I check. I dont believe the timing is off but i suppose anything is possible. Any advice would be appreciated.
