Built for strength and precision, this tool securely locks the crankshaft pulley in place, allowing safe and controlled removal or installation of the crank bolt during service, repairs or timing work.

Modern Porsche engines rely on extremely tight crank bolt torque values and a precision-balanced pulley. Without the correct dedicated holding tool, the pulley can slip, the crankshaft can rotate unexpectedly, or the high-torque fastener can cause damage to surrounding components. This tool eliminates those risks, ensuring a stable, damage-free and professional-grade service procedure.

What This Crankshaft Pulley Holding & Removal Tool Does

This specialised tool enables technicians to:

  • Firmly lock the crankshaft pulley to prevent rotational movement
  • Safely remove high-torque crankshaft bolts without slippage
  • Accurately install or torque crank bolts during reassembly
  • Support timing chain service, front crank seal replacement and engine-out work
  • Protect the pulley hub, keyway and crankshaft snout
  • Ensure correct alignment and prevent timing deviation

Essential for workshops dealing with EA825 and EA839 Porsche engines.

Compatible Porsche Models

Porsche Macan (95B.2)
– EA839 V6 engines (2.9 & 3.0 turbo)

Porsche Panamera (971)
– EA825 V8 engines
– EA839 V6/V8 engines

Porsche Cayenne (9YA)
– EA825 V8 Twin Turbo
– EA839 V6 Turbo & Hybrid variants

Suitable for all Porsche models using these VAG high-performance engine platforms.

Why Crankshaft Pulleys and Bolts Fail

Crankshaft pulleys on high-output EA825 and EA839 engines can experience issues such as:

  • Pulley bolt seizure due to extreme torque and heat cycles
  • Rubber damper wear, affecting pulley stability
  • Pulley slippage from improper past servicing
  • Heat-induced expansion locking the pulley onto the crank
  • Corrosion on the mating surfaces
  • Over-tightening or incorrect tool use, causing distortion

A professional holding tool eliminates these risks during service.

Why You Should Use or Replace With a Precision Pulley Holding Tool

A dedicated crankshaft pulley tool ensures:

  • Damage-free removal and installation
  • Perfect crankshaft stability during timing or seal work
  • Accurate torque application for proper engine function
  • Protection of expensive engine components
  • Reduced risk of timing misalignment
  • Professional reliability for repeated workshop use

Replacing cheap or worn tools avoids slipping, bent arms and incomplete clamping force—common causes of pulley damage.

Engine oil cooler.
This genuine Porsche Engine Oil Cooler is a key thermal management component for the 3.0 L V6 engines in the Porsche 95B.2 Macan, 971 Panamera, and 9YA Cayenne platforms. It efficiently removes excess heat from the engine oil, improving performance stability, reducing wear, and helping ensure peak engine longevity. Its true Porsche OE construction maintains factory-intended cooling characteristics and reliability.

Fits:
Porsche 95B.2 Macan S 3.0L 2019>> (engine code:  DLZ,DLZB)
Porsche 971.1 Panamera 3.0L V6 2017 - 2021 (engine code:  CXTA,CXT)

Porsche 9YA.2 Cayenne 3.0L 2023>> (PR:T9I)

Diagram ref no 19

The engine oil cooler helps regulate the temperature of the engine oil, which is critical for:
•  Protecting engine internals from heat damage
•  Maintaining stable oil viscosity
•  Reducing wear and friction losses
•  Supporting consistent performance under heavy driving, hot ambient temperatures, or towing

Oil that runs too hot loses lubricating properties, increasing friction and accelerating wear. By circulating hot engine oil through a dedicated heat exchanger where heat is transferred away into coolant or ambient air, the oil cooler keeps temperatures in an optimal range - supporting engine reliability, performance, and longevity.

Fitment / Position on Car
  Installed on: Front end of engine bay near coolant radiators, integrated with oil and coolant lines
  Position: Typically mounted ahead of or alongside the engine block, interfacing with dedicated oil lines and the coolant circuit
  Connection: Uses Porsche-specific fittings and seals for leak-free integration with OE lines

Engine oil not only lubricates but also helps carry heat away from internal surfaces. In high-performance turbocharged engines, oil temperatures can spike rapidly if not effectively controlled. A genuine Porsche OE oil cooler like 9A711701530 ensures heat is effectively removed from the oil, protecting internal components and maintaining optimal lubrication characteristics under a wide range of operating conditions.

Engine oil cooler.
The MAHLE engine oil cooler is a premium aftermarket replacement part engineered to meet or exceed the performance and durability of the original Porsche OE oil cooler. This oil cooler is a vital component of the engine’s lubrication and thermal management system, helping regulate oil temperature to protect internal engine components under demanding conditions.

Fits:

Diagram ref no 19

Installed within the engine lubrication circuit, the oil cooler circulates hot engine oil through a series of finned cooling channels where heat is dissipated before the oil returns to the engine. By maintaining optimal oil temperatures, it reduces thermal stress, helps preserve oil viscosity, and supports consistent lubrication - critical for long-term engine reliability and performance.

MAHLE’s precision-engineered cooler is designed for use with 3.0 L engines in a range of Porsche models, providing reliable cooling capacity and direct fitment as a replacement for the OE unit.

Fitment / Position on Car
  Installed on: Front end of engine bay near coolant radiators, integrated with oil and coolant lines
  Position: Typically mounted ahead of or alongside the engine block, interfacing with dedicated oil lines and the coolant circuit

Engine oil not only lubricates but also helps carry heat away from internal surfaces. In high-performance turbocharged engines, oil temperatures can spike rapidly if not effectively controlled. A fresh oil cooler ensures heat is effectively removed from the oil, protecting internal components and maintaining optimal lubrication characteristics under a wide range of operating conditions.

About Engine Rebuild Parts

Porsche Engine Rebuild Parts

Whether you’re planning a complete Porsche engine overhaul or simply replacing a small gasket, Design911 has the right parts for the job. We stock everything from O-rings and gaskets to crankshafts and camshafts, sourced from the most reputable manufacturers including Victor Reinz, Elring, Goetze, Mahle, and Federal-Mogul.

Our catalogue covers both classic and modern Porsche engines, with components and tools designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications. From intricate timing chains and belts to major assemblies, we provide the parts you need to rebuild, refresh, or upgrade your Porsche’s engine.

Our Range of Engine Rebuild Parts

  • Gaskets, Seals & O-Rings – precision sealing for reliable performance
  • Belts & Chains – timing and auxiliary drive components
  • Cylinder Heads, Pistons & Crankshafts – core engine rebuild essentials
  • Camshafts & IMS Bearings – critical components for performance and reliability
  • Engine Mounts – replace worn mounts to reduce vibration and improve stability
  • Throttle Bodies – direct-to-head kits for 911, 964, and classic air-cooled models; improve horsepower, torque, and throttle response
  • Turbochargers & Fittings – complete kits and accessories for turbo upgrades

We also supply the tools and accessories needed for precision rebuilding, ensuring professional results whether you’re working on a home restoration or motorsport preparation.

 Common Porsche Engine Issues

Porsche engines are robust, but some models face well-known issues that require rebuild or replacement parts:

  • Excessive Engine Smoke – often caused by oil separator failure or oil overfill; a common issue in 996 and 986 models
  • IMS Bearing Failures – particularly affecting certain 996 models; early detection can save an engine, but advanced failure may require a complete rebuild
  • Timing Chain & Belt Problems – worn components can affect performance and cause catastrophic failures if neglected
  • Exhaust Leaks – damaged manifolds or gaskets allow fumes to escape, impacting performance and emissions

While some issues are minor and corrected with a single replacement part, others can escalate into major rebuilds if ignored.

 Do I Need to Rebuild My Porsche Engine?

Not every problem requires a full rebuild. Regular oil changes, inspections, and routine servicing can prevent many issues. However, an engine rebuild may be required if:

  • IMS bearing failure has caused internal damage
  • Timing components have failed
  • Major wear or overheating has damaged pistons, valves, or crankshafts
  • You want to restore your engine to factory condition
  • You’re seeking performance gains beyond OEM output
