Yes,the Porsche manual was very precise. I made sure I read the timing section 9 thousand times before I started. No way you could do it without the Porsche tools. I was going to try without the 9401 cam tension tools, I'm glad I didn't. All the tools were necessary. I did make my own torque degree wheel though. I wish the manual would have said to preload the gear and chain tensioner in the clockwise direction, that's really the only thing that threw me for a loop.

Joel, Porsche wants you to read previous car models. They assume that you have started with a previous model year for "schooling"
You need to get the crankshaft set and locked so that when you do both banks the crank shaft will lock in the same place. This will cut down on the margin of camshaft deviation "error" Do you have a flywheel lock? Have you removed your gearbox?

I did not remove the gearbox.
When I checked TDC (with a dial indicator on #1 piston) on bank 1 and locked in the cams, the timing mark on the flywheel was at the same place when I rotated the crank 360 (until I was at TDC) and locked in the cams on bank 2 and checked the timing mark on the flywheel.
I did not get a flywheel lock I thought that they were only for the non turbo models.

Sorry for not updating this post upon completion of the repair ( I hate it when other people do that ). When I got everything back together I had a little problem with the oil level sensor, operator error. I posted about what I had found,
https://rennlist.com/forums/996-turb...-fun-fact.html but, never went back and updated this post. Everything is running good so far, no check engine lights. One thing I have noticed, after the repair, is that I tend to drive in the RPM range where the cam and lifters are always shifting: 3000 - 33000rpm. I'm wondering if this constant shifting might be a cause of the problem. Since the repair I only drive thru 3000-3200rpm and try to keep it above or below.
