Oh nice ! Looks like I save over $100 to order from them.
I just wonder what is included in that set, got any photos ?
Or is it realy all I need, including oil cooler seals and all the other oil seals ?

It should have everything you need (all the seals, rings, and misc. stuff) except for the idlers/tensioners for the timing and balance belts.

So it looks like I got my order sorted for parts I do need ?
Plz tell me if i missed anything. I have the belts already
Gonna place the order when my Amp or speakers is sold Il have to buy it back next year I think, want my car upp and running like a new one this year !
AMP & Speakers

1. Porsche Engine Rebuild Kit 924s & 944
2. New Water Pump fits 924S, 944 thru '88, 944S and 944T
3. Performance Tune Up Pack for 944T / 944NA 8v.
4. Coolant expansion tank for 924S, 944, 944S and 944S2.
5. Lindsey Racing aluminum water block off plate
6. 944 Roller Kit thru 1986
7. Distributor Cap Gasket
8. Connector On Harness For Fuel Injector
9. intake gasket
10. Timing Cover Bolt Kit
13. 944 8v Silicone Radiator Hose Kits Blue

12. Is this a good update or is it better to clean the once I have :P
13. Will this help keep the inside of the engine clean and oil/water gore on the J-Boot ?

Looks like price for all the parts listed above is $2122 and with shipping and Norwegan taxes of 25%! will be $2900... Looks like if I get a realy good price on my speakers and amp Il maybe get the SPAX suspention kit and some interior parts

You've got a bunch of extra stuff that you don't really need. The kit comes with the intake gaskets, BTW. Things that you might want - injector seals and fuel lines.

Those come in the kit. Main bearings go around the crankshaft. Rod bearings are where the connecting rod/piston attaches to the crankshaft.

So I gotten alittle work done today, but this thred is gonna be more of a restoration thread since I have alot of parts and plans for it. Anyway this is what I did today....

Day 2....
I had to change the Manual Steering Shaft for it to be street legal.






Updatet the Windshield Washer hoses and links.



And when I was under ther I found the Alternator/AC Adjustment Strut to be in pretty bad shape, do I have to replace this ?
