As pointed out by George bellow, the correct torque for the bolts holding on the drive plate (flex plate) is 25Nm (or 18 ftlb) for the initial tightening and then 90 degrees for the final tightening!
i would like your opinion, i just taken up this project as a old man. maybe i bit to much then i can chew.. i purchase this 1999 boxester 2.5 automatic, the crankshaft spin right and then stops and left and then stops when i you a breaker bar. i was pouring mystery oil in the sparkplug holes 5 and 6 seems to work just fine when i got to the 4th the entire bottle just went in like there is no tomorrow. i need a engine i cant afford, thinking maybe best to sell as is and cut my losses.
+@HandsON-925 if you want to learn and rebuild the engine it could be a good project. If you want to save money this isn’t the project for you. Will probably cost much more than the car is worth unfortunately.
Very cool entry! A question.... I am on the raby waiting list for an upgraded engine for my 987.1 Cayman S and I should be able to get a shot at one very soon. He was clearing out his prior commitments such as this engine for you first. Is your new engine upgraded in any way over stock and if so do you know exactly how so?
+Dean Parker all I know is it’s referred to as a “stocker” engine and has some upgrades. Supposedly detailed on flat six innovations website but I haven’t looked.
@@HelpMeDIY Please see the "Tightening Torque for Engine" in the front of Group 1 Engine Part 1 (up to Repair Group 13). The torque of the Drive Plate is indeed 18 ft/lb. initial torque and then PLUS 90 degrees. I understand that the new standard is 19 ft./lb. PLUS 120 degrees. The torque you found appears to be maybe from page 30-8 of Group 3 Transmission, for the manual transmission. And 29 ft/lb. is the torque for the wheel axles to the transmission. That's NOT for the flex drive plate torx bolts.

Pretty cool, Aaron! - What a project!

Do the flexplate to cranckshaft bolts not also gat a final tightening stage of 120degreez, like on the manual"s flywheel?
+Christoph Soltau nope, it’s a much different part. And there is almost no info out there that I could find!

@christophsoltau4662 YES, you are correct, they do. The initial torque value is 19 ft./lb., THEN 120 degrees.
@@georgesaare9815 you are absolutely correct! I couldn’t find any info about this online and missed that part of the manual. Thank you!
@@HelpMeDIY You're very welcome! As an airline mechanic, manual compliance is a "thing".... ;-)🙂
Loc tite on those pulleys. AutoAtlanta parts diagrams help immensely with connectors and stuff.
+John Morgan yeah I have a whole video on that site, it’s great! What pulleys?
@@HelpMeDIY The pulleys and tensioners for the accessory belt for certain.
