Is there a tech article on replacing the tube seals? How hard is the repair? Can I do it myself? There are two that definatly need replacing!
Any info would help! I am losing about 1/4 quart per day and it smokes bad when I drive it! It is a 2.0L stock 6! Jeff |

I recently did this repair on a 3.0L 911SC. I had to drop the exhaust (easy if the nuts come off and you don't break a stud), remove the old tubes (very easy with channelocks) and install the new tubes. You'll need the circlip pliers to expand the circlip and get it into the groove. These are available at a good hardware/tool store. Installing the new tubes is a major pain until you can get leverage on them to fit into the head and case. The best way I found is to put a screw-type hose clamp on each of the two sections and twist a large screwdriver or prybar between the clamps to force the tubes into position. Without some way to force the tubes into their sockets you can't get enough leverage to get the tubes and the seals to seat.
