This is also applicable to 986 Boxsters. Would be useful to clarify difference between old and new gasket and installation process per relevant technical bulletin.
They don't wear, they are meant to stretch under torque which allows them to properly seat and not back off or loosen under the load, constant heat and cold cycles, and vibration.. Whenever you have torque rated fasteners in heads, cylinder blocks, etc. It's generally specified by the manufacturer that they be replaced and not reused. $10 in bolts is very inexpensive insurance.
Ok, I can see why there having so many problems with this seal. You have to ask your self what is the intention, because either the out side or the inside of the seal has to rub in order for the crank to turn, LOL. Ok so your suppose to put it in dry. The only thing I can understand is that the seal is held tightly on the crank shaft,so you don't oil the inner part of the seal, therefor the outer part of the seal is going to have its surface rub, but why not oil this surface? Who designed this engine?
no lubrica el reten al instalarlo y no le pone sellador al rededor se tiene que tomar en cuenta todos los detalles puesto que se encuentra en un sitio muy complicado

Newer PTFE seals require leaving the tool in place for ~2 hours.
How would the three bolts wear to the point of needing to be replaced?

What is the part number of the three case half bolts?

You are supposed to soak the seal in oil for a while if I am thinking correctly. Of course, this was proposed after the RMS leaks started to occur.

I wonder how much those two special tools cost? and also the new bolts
You can buy these special tools from Pelican Parts USA for around of 1/3 of the RRP from Porsche
Still looking for the DIY video that doesn't require $2k worth of special tools and a training certification from Porsche.
