Winter Projects 2019/20 - Pt 7 - Intake Manifold Thread Repair

Last time we discussed the use of magnesium in the engine bay of the Porsche 944S, and also looked at some unexpected corrosion damage inside the cam timing gear housing. Now we'll get into the repairs that were done to the magnesium intake manifold.

Winter Projects 2019/20: part 1- Intake removal

 December 27, 2019. There was a lot of work to do to get Gretchen ready for spring. I planned on replacing the timing and balance shaft belts, any of the rollers that needed it (determined by bearing feel), the water pump if necessary, the accessory belts, front of engine oil seals, plus anything else that could be taken care of easily, or was necessary for safety, reliability, or driveability.
