This is what I use, the pin wrenches for the spring tensioner, flat wrench for the eccentric tensioners, flywheel lock, and Porsche tool P9201 tension gauge.

I think you can get away without the flat wrench. A vintage Hazet or Gedore regular wrench (think like the ones in your factory tool kit) are slightly thinner than modern wrenches at the open end, one of those may work. If not you can always grind down a Princess Auto cheapie wrench.

Nice medical Kit...

Do you do house calls ?


Just belts and rollers right now until I determine what else is wrong.

Just the flat wrench for now I guess. Once I get my parts in the mail I will see what I can do.

Cheers.

I absolutely would in Edmonton, we've got a nice local crew of 944 guys that help each other out. I don't get down to Calgary much anymore, with little kids now I try to stay home as much as I can.

Keep posting up pics when you get your parts and get in there!

Know anyone in Calgary with that tension guage ?

I can pay beer / cash / karma for a house call...

[chrenan]

Sorry I don't - there has to be one around somewhere in Calgary. Maybe post on the Canada section of the Rennlist board? Or even the 944 Turbo section of the Rennlist board? Did anyone ever track a 944 at Race City? Maybe post on the CSCC forum too?

Alright...



Timing and Balance belts changed along with rollers.

60k Shakedown run was awesome afterwards as well.

Tranny fluid next I think...

Maybe a new shifter.

[chrenan]

Very well done! I bet that felt good! Did you find a tension tool or do it by feel? Transmission fluid is much easier, just be sure to remove the fill plug first. Now I need to convince you to bring it up to Castrol for a little fun.

[Nufy]

No tool.

By feel only. Was too tight at first so it whined a bit.

All good now.
