Removing design cover on cylinder bank 5-8





1. Remove design cover from cylinder bank 5-8. To do this, loosen the four fastening screws -arrows- on the design cover.





2. Lift the cover slightly with both hands at the side pointing towards the intake system until it is released from its holder.





3. Lift the front of the design cover and remove it.

Lifting the engine

^ The engine must be detached from the transmission.

DANGER Suspended load!
^ Risk of serious crushing and injury
^ Do not work at or under a suspended load.
^ Never reach in between the engine and components during installation or removal.
^ Wear protective safety gear.

DANGER Danger of injury from incorrect use of tools and from falling loads!
^ Danger of crushing from heavy loads!
^ When working on the engine suspension, the engine must be appropriately secured against falling or lowering.
^ Never use defective lifting equipment (bent or damaged tools must not be used or repaired. Always replace these tools). Check tools for signs of damage before use.
^ Only use lifting equipment tested and approved by Porsche. Home-made and auxiliary constructions result in improper use and are dangerous.
^ The transport eyebolt can only bear vertical traction with no side or transverse forces. Side loads (e.g. from chains or cables) will damage the transport eyebolt, which must then be replaced. Extreme cases of improper use can break the transport eyebolt.
^ Tools and lifting equipment must always be used properly. Improper use or dangerous home-made constructions can break tools and result in falling loads.
^ Wear protective gloves.

Note: Place a cloth between the secondary air pump bracket and design cover to avoid scratching the cover.

Note:
^ Never use defective lifting equipment (bent or damaged tools must not be used or repaired -3-. Always replace these tools). Check tools for signs of damage before use.





^ The transport eyebolt must only be pulled straight -1-. Never use side or transverse force on the transport eyebolt -2- because this can damage the transport eyebolt.





1. Screw transport eyebolt 9700 hand-tight as far as you can into the opening on cylinder head 5 - 8 -arrow-.





2. Insert an M10 screw through the torque support bracket and secure it with a nut. Then attach the hooks of the suspending device 3033 on both sides. Align the suspending device so that it only pulls the transport eyebolt. To do this, adjust the spindles of the hooks in such a way that the suspending device 3033 is suspended as horizontally as possible above the engine. Move the spindles on the suspending device into positions 4 and 9. Side forces, e.g. from cables or chains attached at an angle, will bend and break the transport eyebolt.








3. Engage spindles into positions 4 and 9-A and B- of the suspending device 3033 and tension spindles slightly. Lift the engine carefully and balance it out. Raise the engine as shown.





Position 4 and 9 -A and B-
