Quick and easy way to set the flywheel sensor gap:
I believe 1mm is the spec ( 993 likely the same). Buy a cheap set of feeler gauges at NAPA. Use the thickness of the one just less the 1mm. Cut off a dime size piece and laminate it with a strip of duct tape on each side leaving a tail 6inches long (no stick). This should stick to the flywheel side of the sensor magnetically. Position the sensor back in the car and press the sensor towards the flywheel leaving the shim you made between it. snug the bolts up. Pull the tail to remove the new tool you made out of the gap.
I had to do this last week before my race weekend. I then labelled the duct tape with a sharpy "do not throw out, flywheel gauge".
