33:30 also FYI, you should remove the DME relay which disables the injectors and ignition system so you can crank the engine over to build oil pressure before you start it (about 2 bar is good), then you can check for leaks. While you have the DME out you can jump terminal 30 and 87b to test the fuel pump and check for leaks. Both are better than starting the engine finding out something is spraying
FYI it’s easier to mount the exhaust on the engine before you put it back in the car, especially if you’ve removed the bumper bar and bumper covers. Also you don’t need to remove the axles to drop or install the engine.
I thought about putting the exhaust on first but figured I’d try it this way. As for the axle, you are correct in a normal situation, but in mine, the hydraulic table was too wide and I needed to take the axle out to clear.

Awesome comment, seriously. I’ve got a 95’ 993 that I will definitely try that on. Thank you
I also changed the 3 × belts recently. I photographed everything and put all the pulley halves and shims on a long piece of cardboard.
I do my own maintenance too. Two biggest PITA were the ballast resistors (front left for HVAC, front right for oil cooler).

Nice. I know how difficult it is to do maintenance AND record.
34:40 Oh happy happy joy joy.
The motor sounds a little like it has a knock or exhaust leak on startup. How did it sound on the drive ?
It was a little bit of a knock and cleared up after a minute and a top up of the oil. Sounded and drove great!
18:00 Hemostat
33:00 Just take out the DME relay.
