Good Point on the tools. I re-read the last thread and JosephSC had both the kriket and the p9201 so if he is willing to bring those then that part is all set. I've never done the timing belt so I really dont' know what other tools are needed. If you want I can edit my first post to include who is bringing what tools.
Yup -- I'll bring them up. I don't have much else in the tools department though. BTW, I'll be bringing up my 944S3 (the 968 engine swap) -- my 968 cab is sitting on the wrong side of the continent...

I can't remember the manufacturer of the ramps I have, but I bought them and an extender kit (lengthend ramp = decreased approach angle) that allows the 944 to drive on up, no problems. I believe I got the set at AutoZone. I can post some pix when I get home.

Default Repairs

I need the radiator and a F. cam seal replaced.. I will probably do the radiator prior to the get together.. but the seal, and belts while I'm in there ought to be done together. I just had the belts/pump/roller replaced last June, but I don't want to risk them going due to dirt collection from where any oil may have leaked from the seal.

Other then a set of metric wrenches, I am lacking in the tools department. Though I can bring the handyman's secret weapon... BEER!
