Transporting the engine in the workshop

Information

- The engine transport eyebolt -2- must only be used briefly for transporting the engine with the workshop crane and for mounting the engine on the assembly support.





Engine transport eyebolt (example of Carrera)





- The transmission must always be removed beforehand to avoid fracturing the cast iron on the crankcase.

- The engine must also be suspended on the engine carrier.

Transporting the engine using the Master Gear unit elevating platform WE 1206:

For safety reasons, the engine must be secured on the elevating platform with tension straps.

On the Carrera, secure the engine across the two exhaust manifolds.

On the Boxster, secure the engine across the engine flange.

Engine support assembly





1. Secure engine adapter 9971 to the engine using six M12 screws or six mounting parts 9590. Tighten screws hand-tight only.

Information

- The crankcase is very hard due to its material composition and as a result, there is a high risk that it will break at the flange eyes if excessive pressure is applied.

- Given this, the engine adapter 9771 must always be screwed on at the engine flange first.

- If this is not possible, the tightening and loosening sequence must always be observed.

Mounting positions

1.1. Screw mounting set loosely to the engine adapter.
1.2. Screw engine support loosely to the mounting set, align the lever arms and then tighten screws well.
2. Lift the engine with the workshop crane and secure it on the engine assembly support.

3. The tightening and loosening sequence must always be observed when fitting the engine on or removing the engine from the engine support.

CAUTION

Engine housing overload.

- Risk of engine damage if housing breaks.

-> Observe loosening and tightening sequence!
-> Loosening sequence: Loosen screws from the bottom up.
-> Tightening sequence: Tighten screws from top to bottom.

3.1. Tightening sequence: Always tighten the bottom two screws -1- last (from top to bottom).
3.2. Loosening sequence: Always loosen the bottom two screws -1- first (from the bottom up).
