All 968 CS came with M220. Gearbox cooling loop was a 944 feature, not on 968s.

All 968 CS did NOT come with option 220 lsd. And I know the gearbox cooling loop was a 944 turbo feature, I've had 2 of them.

Looks to be mounted too high to stiffen anything but the roof. Mounting on the rear seat catches makes more sense to me, that means losing use of the rear seat though.

LSD or gearbox oil cooler?

Ditto, but I did wonder why Porsche hung the ARB from those relatively weak hangers. And people that probably know plenty about how anti roll bars work, have expressed doubts about the effectiveness of those extra brackets. That I spent 2 or 3 hours making and fitting.

So, I'm spending time changing the bushings on the 968 30mm sway bar and feel the need to clean up the brackets and drop links. They are dirty, but also a combination of black paint, red powder coating, and yellow zinc. Since they are all small enough to powder coat, and I can do it while ...

Tom, did you take your OPRV apart, and replace the internal o-rings?

I used 5w40 in my turbo when I bought it 17 years ago. It leaked onto my new paved drive, switched to 10w50 and it hasn't dripped since.

Here in the UK suppliers are charging $60+ for a metal alignment tool. Which is quite spendy for what would probably be a single use tool. I don't have a printer to make a plastic one though. I have read of people using the late OPRV to align the housing?

Thank you Tom. When I bought the car it came with a lot of new parts in Porsche packets, with part numbers that mean nothing to me. Hopefully some of those parts will be ones you listed.

Hi, I'm not talking about the main gasket, it's the 2 metal washers and the plastic 1 in this picture. I want to know how they are fitted when I refit the OPRV? Thanks
