Steam Cleaning is for Trucks.
My cars get detailed, not pressure washed.
The steam would strip that **** off.

WOW!! I haven't been on here in a little bit and now I see this! I can't believe that there is that nice a 944 in New Brunswick. I always see all these beautiful 944's from down south but never up here. If you ever need any help with the car shoot me a pm, I am over in N.B quite often and would love to take a look at it.

If you are in the Oromocto Base Gagetown area let me know before you come down.

Holy Crap,
My 10 Min job turned into a 3 Hour PITA.
Didn't really clean off the toothed driveshaft in the torque tube as well as I should have and the clutch didn't go on the shaft without alot of "Help"
Basically, it's all in there now and Pete and I tested to make sure that it's all working fine.
1st gear and I manually rotated the crank, the car moved a bit
4th gear and I manually rotated the crank, the car moved a lot.
PERFECT!
Today, I'm going to start to put the parts on like a big German Lego set.
Peace!

Brian,
You've accomplished a lot with this car. It's looks great. Keep the informative posting going. I'm very interested in the supercharger. You just made your own set up verses buying a kit. I'm wanting to add to my car but I really haven't seen much talk on the board with someone actually getting one.
Thanks, Lee

Bled the Clutch Master and to test the clutch I placed the car in reverse with two ramps behind the car.
I manually moved the crank with Spark plugs removed with a 24 mm ratchet on the crank bolt.
Car went up ramps perfect, then with the car still in gear I pushed in the clutch and the car slid off the ramps like a charm.
So, The 944S2 Clutch is totally compatible with an 86 844 NA 2.5L

Updated picture of the Weekends work.
There are some Misc bolts holding stuff together that are the wrong length on the Fuelrail etc, and most of the sensors have to be hooded in but the hard part is done.

i tried to also quote neondrivers post also...
if you do searches on turboford.org, you will find info on making the "afm" work as a blow through design. they call it a vam though, as in vane airflow meter. even on the ford turbo cars, the meter is still in front of the turbo, so air is always drawn through it instead of experiencing pressure AND suction.
