Reinstalling my engine in '87 924S and forgot to mark alignment of automatic flywheel to the damper/starter ring gear. There is a little notch on edge of damper/ring gear and 3 lines etched into the flyweel. 1 is on the side closest to engine and 2 closer to where damper bolts to flywheel. Does one of these lines have to align with the notch in the damper/ring gear?

Thanks

Bob, while I don't know the answer to your question, you may get a better response if you post this question in the "924/931/944/951/968" general forum.

By the way, since you are a brand new user, it would probably help your cause if you provide a brief introduction and a few photos of your car...

IN the first picture there is a dowel pin...is there a corresponding non-threaded hole on the flywheel?

PRBob

There are 3 dowel pins on the damper and 3 holes in the flywheel that are evenly-spaced from each other. That's why I wasn't sure, but now I see which one it is based on process of elimination using the factory manual. The other two flywheel marks have to do with TDC alignment. Thanks.

The notch in damper aligns with the flywheel marking in the last picture.
