Tear down is nearly complete so we took the car off the lift and pushed it back into the showroom. Looks odd so high in the rear.

It didn't take long before we found our first issue. This might need cleaning.

We soon had the intake manifold off the engine.

and found some more, not unexpected problems.

A bit more wrench wiggling and we had the shroud off too.

A few more things to address.

Generally speaking there were no surprises so we think we'll push on with our original plan. There was one little wrinkle: a morning spent googling "Individual throttle bodies Porsche 3.2" !! Maybe next time eh?
