Found this write-up today on using the 964 RS trim engine mounts on a 996. I think I might go this route once the bank account decides to have money in it again. Looks like almost $450 worth of parts which is a bit harsh i think, but I will see what can be hashed out.

BMW oil filter housing gasket

The old gasket has the consistency of soft sandstone. Slightly embrittled!

BMW oil filter housing gasket.

So the Ci has been leakin oil from the side of the block from quite some time. I decided I had best fix it now before I end up moving into a shitty garage-less apartment.
The gasket itself is an o-ring style gasket that goes between the engine block and the oil filter housing. Getting parts off is the hardest part!
I discovered some rather strange wear on the pressure valve when I got the block off. Not sure what to think of it yet. Probably going to throw it back on like so! :)

Relic

Wow, started sorting through stuff in anticipation of the upcoming move and look what I found. Class ring...man was I cool back then! :)
