gowesty.com has the one you want. Here's an article they wrote about the RMS
http://www.gowesty.com/tech-article-details.php?id=60interesting read Perry - so it will be interesting to see if my new RMS on the boxster will last or how long, just did the clutch and IMS , it took it in thinking I had an RMS leak but it was not leaking , it was leaking from the IMS seal , but while we did all that work the shop wanted to know if I wanted to do a new RMS since the flywheel was being replaced too- so I said yes thinking new would be better and old original will start to leak - I might be wrong depending on which seal they used! ugh. time will tell! I have no idea which brand they used- hope it was OEM or the Brazil one!
@IronHillRestorations bump on this thread , it came up as i was re-reading this due to new leak. forgot posting on this 5 years ago, that was my original motor and it stayed leak free for 4 years until i dropped a valve seat, at which point we pulled the motor(still leak free) and the heads to have them rebuilt, fast forward a year and a half later that motor is still sitting, we built a new 2.1 and on that motor i had a leak after 6 months, so i pulled the trans to find a leak from trans output shaft seal and the IMS, and the clutch was a mess so in went a new RMS i got from LN, and new trans seal. Recent leak seems to be oil not trans so looks like i am pulling this motor with only 2500 miles on it to investigate, but it seems likely this is a leaking RMS again, after only 9 months and maybe 1500 miles since last spring.
I am going to pull it this weekend, but any advice? what am i looking at or for? why
the heck would my RMS be leaking again? Ive also read that some people will shorten the spring to get a tighter seal, anyone else see this? That Ehrling seal on the other motor held fine, no issue. This is a new build with all new inner bearnings new cam new crank, new every thing 18 months ago. Maybe i need to double check the crank end play. seems unlikely that i would have excess crank motion but have heard that will cause a leaking rms. btw the front seal appears dry.
Thanks if anyone can commend id appreciate it.
