Technical values






Preliminary work

When does the engine have to be raised? =>
- Replacement engine is in the transport frame.
- Engine is secured to the mounting bracket.
- Engine is removed and placed on a pallet.
- Engine/transmission unit is removed and placed on the lifting platform.

Securing engine to workshop crane (includes fitting transport eyebolt)

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.
-> Improper use can 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.

CAUTION

Danger of fire from severed fuel lines.

- A transport eyebolt fitted on the engine can sever the fuel line at the plenum panel in the event of a frontal crash. Fuel leaks out as a result.

-> The rear transport eyebolt must not be fitted when the engine is installed because the fuel line at the plenum panel would be severed in the event of a frontal crash.
-> Remove the rear transport eyebolt when installing the engine.
-> The rear transport eyebolt is a special tool and is part of the workshop equipment.
-> The rear transport eyebolt is painted red as a warning.





Installation position of transport eyebolt
