I understood what you were trying to say, no worries. I was just trying to make the situation clear for the OP.

Unfortunately he didn't read, was not prepared, and had no understanding of what he ...

I have no horse in this race. I've given up on my 924S. Just mentioning some success stories I read on CG.

I don't doubt gohim's advice. I have the old kind without the built in tensioner.

I've heard success stories over at the clark's garage forums where using the 90 degree rule worked quite well

Oh it's not a daily driver, don't worry.

The last straw was realizing that at least one of the balance shaft seals was leaking and then getting pessimistic about the rod bearings.

I think I'll e ...

I think I've decided to give up. Today I took apart the BS belt and the rollers to check how they're rolling. They're rolling find but at least one of the seals is bad. There is a faint drip of flu ...

Got the head off. Felt SOO GOOD! headers came out, no problem. Worst part was getting the coolant neck past the wiring harness for (what looks like) the cold start injector. Also got the oil coole ...

Fun stuff.
We sure have a perverted view of "fun."

Rained today. Picked up the wobble sockets. Will report back.

For the first five bolts, I put a wrench on the bolt head (top side) and a socket on the nut. Four came off fine, and one bolt snapped (equally good result cos the bolts need to bre replaced anyway). ...

OK I got it. When the cam sprocket mark was dead on, the flywheel mark was a bit off. There was some slack in the timing belt--I don't think it had been tensioned properly cos there was rubber build ...

Thanks so much guys.

Is PET an abbreviation for Pelican?

Hi, general question:

how can we tell what parts to other vehicles, like 944s, in what year ranges, share parts with our 924S?

Specific question:

Will the coolant overflow tank from a 1984 94 ...

However, when the cam is at TDC, the engine is always at TDC.

This is what I'm going to go by. Cos for every rotation of the cam, the crank rotates twice--basic principle of a four stroke engin ...

Thanks guys.

I got under the hood very briefly today and I'm wondering if it isn't better to find TDC with the window on the cam gear cover (behind the distributor)?

When you go by the flywheel, ...

Thanks bcblase!

There is a window on the lowest part of the bellhousing (under the car) and a mark for TDC on the flywheel.

On clark's garage he said this method is not good because the mark can ...

One of the reasons I give up on the oil cooler is that I'm pretty sure it's been redone. The housing doesn't seem to line up perfectly and one of the bolts, the one that also holds the wire grommet f ...
