I only work on older 911s. The 944 seems like it is all the expense of a 911 with less speed.

Ha! I knew, maybe you mis-read the posts. I'll talk Fords and Chevys with you anytime.

It might have been said more delicately, but the feedback has been "If it was MY car, I would have a professional fix these problems." Coming from a couple guys who know what they are talking about, that seems like the best possible advice to me. More than once, I've had a car scattered all over my garage for months because I tackled something over my head.

It's a lot of work to do the belt and if it were me I'd consider running without the belt. My 944 turbo has the shafts in place but no belt. For a track car the balance shafts are definitely unnecessary. For a street car which sits at constant RPMs it might be a different story, but I don't think it would be that annoying. I'd research that though.....
Lighten up Francis....

Can anyone recommend a good Porsche repair shop in the Pottstown/Phoenixville/Reading area to replace the cam and balance belts?
