911 Turbo                930.101.916.00                    930.101.918.00

To increase crankcase strength, the removable oil filter screen and cover plate with oil drain plug have been eliminated.

New Repair Procedures

Parallel Alignment of Camshaft Sprockets

Because of the change in the intermediate shaft cover area, a new method of checking parallel alignment of camshaft sprockets is necessary.

Old Measuring Method:

                                                                                                                Example:  Measured distance A = 78.7 mm

For sprocket of cyl. 1 – 3, we have A + 54.8 mm = 133.5 mm

For sprocket of cyl. 4 – 6, we have A = 78.7 mm

New method

Distance A is measured from front edge of crankcase to face the intermediate shaft.

Design distances between sprockets:

  • From face of intermediate shaft to face of rear camshaft sprocket {cyl 1 – 3 } = 98.07 mm
  •  From face of intermediate shaft to face of front camshaft sprocket {cyl 4 – 6} =43.27 mm

Design distance plus measured distance A = position of sprockets on camshafts.

Example:             Measured distance A = 35.5 mm

                                For sprocket of cyl 1 – 3 we have:

                                A + 98.07 mm or

                                35.5 + 98.07 = 133.57 mm (+ 0.25 mm)

                                For sprocket of cyl 4 – 6 we have:

                                A + 43.27 mm or

35.5 + 43.27 mm + 78.57 mm (+0.25 mm)

Sprocket adjustment procedure is unchanged.

Normally, 3 shims underneath left camshaft sprocket.
