I'm sure the answer for this question exisits somewhere in the forum, but I can't seem to find it by searching. I just got an 86k 1986 944 (NA) engine to use for a swap. As I know nothing about it, timing belt replacement will happen before anything else. Can anybody add necessary parts to this list?

Timing Belt
Timing Belt Tensioner
Balance Shaft Belt
Balance Shaft Belt Tensioner
Front Seals
Water Pump
Thermostat

Anything I'm missing? (I'm new to 944s...)
Thanks

Looks like you got everything

You can always go for new hardware (nuts/bolts) for the water pump

75ohm

Check the oil pump sleeve and balance shaft sleeves for grooves if you are in that far...

Don't forget the onionskins!

Possibly buy new woodruff keys for cheap while you are at it?

Rollers... need the new rollers, but not a new tensioner as a whole.

Belt tensioning is important and make sure you have the balance shafts in correct orientation.

Good luck.

Flywheel lock, kriket tool (or 9201), pin spanner (or 90-degree bent-nose pliers also work well), and a big-*** honkin' piece of pipe (and breaker bar) for the crank pulley bolt.

AC/Alt. belt as well as p/s belt

Loctite 574 to seal the balance shaft bolts.
High quality 10mm XZN triple square tool to remove the camshaft bolt (if equipped).

I made this list up a long time ago. There are probably some supercessions, but it will give you a good start.

Is there a nice article with pictures on how this replacement is done? I looked at clarks, but I like photos!

Here's an old posting by me of what I bought for my 968...but many of the part numbers start with 944...not sure what that means.

I recently ordered a bunch of parts to update many of the "wear" parts on my 1994 968. The following parts have been delivered but I've not yet installed them. In fact, I can get by and may not even need all of them but, while I'm in there, I thought "Why not?" Sooner or later they will wear out and after almost 70k miles, I might as well. Can you do a similar update cheaper? Absolutely as I'm also replacing bolts and gaskets, etc. that may still be fine. These are all Porsche parts or Porsche OEM. I just thought the list might be interesting to those of you who are looking for a listing and get confused between 944 parts lists and 968 lists. The dealer checked this list over and made some changes so I'm banking on it being accurate.

The following prices are what were charged to me on 4/28/05 and subject to change and do not include handling charges, freight/shipping, rush orders from Germany, etc (For me, that was about an additional $150.00 or so). Different dealers will have differing prices and, in some cases, there may be product quality differences. Almost all of the above parts were purchased from a Porsche dealership. No guarantees are made as to accuracy of the list. I'm not a great typist. Please double-check with the PET listings and the dealer you work with before ordering. Also, you may not want all these parts but here they are just in case. Good luck on your belt and waterpump rebuild!
