Title: Painting my engine covers
Post by: Porsche Monkey on December 10, 2008, 05:39:40 AM
I want to paint the covers on the sides of my engine.  Its a 97 M900.  Do I have to remove the clutch basket to remove the right side cover?  Thanks Jon

Apparently the basket does have to come out.  Guess its time to make some clutch tools.

Do yourself a huge favor and get a shop manual.  I rebuilt a 900 motor last year, and it was invaluable.  [beer]

Doh, of course.  Brain fart on my part.
