Finally got that head off with a little help from my friends. The #1 intake value is bent and the #3 exhaust value is also bent and that one is really bad. Question would you replace all 8 values or just the bad one? Any advice would be helpful.

replace the bent ones, and have a shop redo the rest

I'd get the correct fasteners for when it's time to put it back together. Mine has OE fasteners and there's spacers that go on with the 3 turbo-to-exhaust manifold bolts. These are probably key to making the job a little less impossible.

I have a box of (4) brand new genuine Porsche 931 exhaust valves if you need them.

The price would be $110 for the whole box, including shipping by Priority Mail with Insurance.

The valves normally sell for between $65-$100 each, through the Porsche Part aftermarket or a Porsche Dealer.

I have all of my parts now and I'm going to start to put this car back together, hopefully I can remember where everything goes.

I know this is an old subject, but I never saw you post the answer of "how to get the lower intake manifold nut off".

I have my motor out of the car, and I need to get the intake manifold off of the head so I can spin the clutch housing around the motor so that I can remove the bolts from the flywheel so that I can put the motor on a motor stand.....WHEW...

I have not succeded in getting an open ended wrench, OR a socket of over the nut either. I thought of grinding a wrench down, but with the turbocharger mounted on the motor, AND the intake manifold in the way. There really is not room to even TURN the wrench if I even got it on there.

I have a feeling I should be getting the turbocharger off FIRST!

How did you do it?

Say what? I've never had to remove the intake manifold to put the motor in a stand...

HAHA.... Its been a long day... I meant EXHAUST manifold... Hopefully that clears up what Im talking about....

You shouldn't have to remove the exhaust manifold either to remove the bell housing. What's the hang up?

You did remove the clutch fork shaft didn't you?
