Heat shield for cylinder & coil pack cover
This OE Match Heat shield for the engine cylinder area is designed to protect ignition coil packs and surrounding components from heat exposure in Porsche 996 and 997 models.
Sold individually, Fits left or right side.
Fits:
Porsche 996 3.6L Carrera 2 / 4 / 4S 2002 - 2005 (Engine code: 9603)
Porsche 997.1 3.6L Carrera 2 / 4 2005 - 2008 (Engine code: 9605)
Porsche 997.1 3.8L Carrera 2S / 4S 2005 - 2008 (Engine code: 9701)
Diagram ref no 37
This product supersedes Porsche's old part number: 99610444501
The OE Match 99610444502 Heat Shield for Cylinder is a high-quality replacement component developed to replicate original Porsche specifications for fit, durability, and thermal protection. Installed on the cylinder head area, this shield acts as a protective barrier between the engine and sensitive ignition components.
Positioned directly over the ignition coil packs, this heat shield helps deflect radiant heat generated by the engine, preventing excessive temperature buildup that could affect ignition performance. It also provides protection against moisture and debris, which can contribute to premature wear or failure of ignition components.
Designed for both banks of the engine, this component fits either the left or right side, making it a versatile and essential part for maintenance or replacement. It is commonly used on Porsche 996 3.6L engines and 997 Gen 1 3.6L and 3.8L models, and supersedes earlier part number 99610444501.
Due to its location in the engine bay, the original shield is exposed to constant heat cycles and environmental conditions, making it prone to corrosion and deterioration over time. Replacing it with an OE Match unit ensures continued protection and optimal engine performance.
This heat shield protects ignition coil packs and surrounding engine components from excessive heat, helping maintain reliable ignition performance and component longevity.
Function
• Shields ignition coil packs from engine heat
• Deflects radiant heat away from sensitive components
• Protects against moisture, dirt, and debris
• Helps maintain consistent ignition performance
• Reduces risk of heat-related component failure
Heat shields in this location are highly exposed to extreme temperature changes and moisture, making them prone to rust and deterioration. A damaged or missing shield can lead to overheating of ignition components, reduced reliability, and potential misfires.
Replacing the heat shield ensures proper thermal protection and helps extend the lifespan of ignition coils and surrounding components.
When to replace
• Visible rust, corrosion, or deterioration
• Missing or damaged heat shield
• Ignition coil issues related to heat exposure
• During coil pack replacement or engine service
• Preventative maintenance on high-mileage vehicles

Information
Replacement spark plug tube with new o-rings.
This spark plug tube is engineered as a direct replacement for the original Porsche spark plug tube. It provides a sealed, precision-fit channel through the cylinder head for the spark plug, preventing coolant ingress while supporting proper plug alignment and ignition performance.
Sold individually, 6 required per engine.
Fits:
Porsche 986 Boxster / Boxster S 1997 - 2002
Porsche 996 C2 / C4 3.4L 1998 - 2001
Diagram ref no 27, 28 and 29.
The spark plug tube provides a protective and sealed passage for the spark plug through the cylinder head. It:
• Supports and protects the spark plug from contamination by engine coolant
• Prevents coolant intrusion into the spark plug well
• Maintains electrical insulation and correct plug orientation
• Helps preserve consistent ignition performance and combustion integrity
Spark plug tubes are subjected to age, heat, coolant chemicals, and vibration. Over time the tube can stiffen, crack, or lose sealing effectiveness, allowing coolant to seep into the plug well. This often leads to misfires, poor starting, coil damage, or electrical shorts, and is a common service item on aging Porsche M96 engines. Replacing compromised tubes with a high-quality OE Match spark plug tube restores the correct seal and prevents expensive ignition coil or wiring damage, especially during engine rebuilds, head gasket services, or preventative maintenance.
When to replace:
• During cylinder head removal or service
• Evidence of coolant in spark plug wells
• Misfires or ignition issues traced to moisture/coolant
• Cracked, brittle, or deteriorated tube material
• Preventive refresh on high-mile engines

Information
Camshaft adjuster seal.
This is a sealing ring for the timing chain tensioner used in Porsche M96/M97 engines (996, early Boxster, Cayman, etc.). Its purpose is to seal the hydraulic timing chain tensioner, which relies on engine oil pressure to keep the timing chain tight and correctly tensioned.
Fits:
Porsche 986 Boxster / S >>2001
Porsche 996 C2 / C4 >>2001
Diagram ref no 20
• Position on Vehicle: Installed within the engine timing cover/tensioner housing area - interacts directly with the chain tensioner mechanism to hold hydraulic pressure and oil flow correctly.
• Applications: Especially recommended when performing timing chain service, chain guide/tensioner replacement or when the original seal shows oil seepage or has been re-used in high-load service conditions.
In the intricate timing chain system of the M96/M97 engines, the tensioner seal is critical for maintaining correct hydraulic pressure and preventing oil leakage. A worn or failed seal can allow pressure loss, cause chain slack, timing drift or increased engine stress - even leading to damage if timing is compromised. Replacing this seal ensures the tensioner works as designed, helps maintain timing chain alignment and preserves the overall health of your engine.
When and why to replace:
• You are already servicing the timing chain, tensioner, or guides.
• Noticing oil leaks or seepage around the timing cover or tensioner area.
• Engine exhibits timing-chain noise, erratic timing or hydraulic pressure issues.
• High-mileage engine where original seals have aged or may be brittle.
• Preventative maintenance during major service to avoid future timing-chain failures.

Information
Cylinder head bolt long. M10 x 230
Cylinder head bolts are essential structural fasteners used in modern engines to clamp the cylinder head, head gasket and engine block together. The OE Match bolt is the long version used in Porsche M96 and M97 engines found in various Boxster, Cayman and 911 models.
Sold individually, 24 bolts required per engine.
Fits:
Porsche 986 Boxster 2.7L / S 3.4L 2003 - 2004
Porsche 987.1 Boxster 2005 - 2008
Porsche 987C.1 Cayman 2005 - 5008
Porsche 996 C2 / C4 / C4S 2002 - 2005
Porsche 997.1 Carrera 2005 - 2008
Diagram ref no 20.
The cylinder head bolt applies the precise clamping force needed to hold the cylinder head against the engine block while compressing the head gasket. This ensures a sealed combustion chamber and prevents coolant or oil leakage. Correctly functioning head bolts are critical to maintaining engine compression, cooling efficiency and overall engine reliability.
Function
• Engine Assembly Fastening: Secures the cylinder head to the engine block
• Compression Seal: Maintains correct sealing of the head gasket
• Thermal Stability: Withstands engine heat cycles and mechanical stress
• Engine Integrity: Ensures proper combustion chamber sealing and pressure control
Cylinder head bolts experience extreme stress from combustion pressure, temperature changes and engine vibration. Over time or after repeated tightening cycles, bolts can stretch or lose their clamping strength. Replacing them during engine repairs helps maintain the correct seal between the head and block, preventing coolant leaks, compression loss or engine overheating.
Consider replacing cylinder head bolts when:
• Rebuilding or repairing the engine
• Replacing the head gasket
• Engine overheating or compression loss occurs
• The original bolts have been previously torqued or stretched
