Nice vid! How does this kit compare to the Motorsport AOS sold by Porsche?
To facilitate removal of the upper roller bolt you can jack up the engine. As you discovered, doing this job from the top is the way, but kudos for showing the whole process. It's generally good practice to spray cleaner on the oily areas to help identify leaks later or even better to confirm they are fixed. I find dedicated handheld spring clamp pliers excellent for stuff like this because even if you knock them they never let go. Also, the lower AOS clamp is accessible via the right rear wheel well. Cheers.
I have the same model of 2006 Cayman S and have replaced the AOS 3 times by now (It currently has 125,000 miles). This looks like a viable alternative to replacing the AOS every 40,000 miles or so.
Hi. Along with this video, I've been following your engine removal video saga. I have a 2011 Boxster Spyder bought new coming up on 200K miles. Have had sports cars all my life (British and Japanese) but this is my first Porsche. I have to say I am really disappointed with the difficulty in the serviceability of this car. What a rats nest of hoses and wiring with minimal space to get at bolts and clamps. Seems like cruel and unusual punishment for a guy (or gal) to try and maintain. Thanks for your vids and good luck with your engine rebuild and reinstall.
Im surprised you didn't clean the area around the oil fill tube before removing it. By chance, will these fit 987.2?
That was a great video, Aaron! But, I have to say, it looks like a royal PITA install and I hope I never have to do it. Okay now, can you take some tough love? It bugs me no end how dirty your engine is. I rinse my 997 engine almost every time I wash the car to keep it clean. Is the Cayman a total pain to wash? I guess you'd have to R&R that alum engine cover. Is there a window to keep the water out of the interior? I couldn't live with a dirty engine like that! Maybe the problem is with me??? Never thought of myself as OCD but now you have me thinking…
Does this fit on the 1998 boxster 986?
My friend, would gunked up coolant and old transmission fluid cause the cayman to shut engine off when driving?
I’m literally working on an AOS guide right now for the 987.. Small world! I’m just starting so very much sure that your guides are the golden standard sir
