amazing how a little bit of oil on the exhaust and resultant smoke can render the car completely undrivable isn't it

Once again, Thank you. I did notice that the length of the part three video was 9:44 long. Was that a coincidence or planed?

Thanks a bunch, performing the job this weekend.

Van, just watching those videos made me ten times more knowledgeable! ive done my timing belt and balance shaft belt before on my own.(help from clarksgarage) and i didnt know what anything was in there haha. but now i feel like god ha. thanks for all the amazing information! Keep it up!

Van

I'm glad I can help!

I'm a firm believer that demystifying something is the best way to learn it. With this belt job, there's a lot going on - but once you understand it, and understand why it was designed that way, you realize the operating parameters you can work with.

I recently had an argument on a 914 board - someone was looking at getting a 944, and all of these people jumped up to say, "Ohhh, don't to that!!! These cars always need timing belts, and it costs a fortune to have the belts done by a pro with the right tools!" I replied with, "It's not rocket science - I do it all the time." But, they didn't believe me.

You are DA MAN !!
First the wheel bearings. Now the water pump. I was s@#$ing a brick about tackling this job. Now you have really made it possible to tackle it.
Thanks so much for taking the time to enlighten us ( knuckle heads )
I am sure it was very time consuming, but you must know how much we appreciate it.... Thanks Bud
All the very best
Ed
Ditto..... very funny

Van isn't diddly poo poo....until he does a video of a clutch job on a 944 N/A...preferrably in high-def....1986....in slow motion....close-ups and tricks for getting the problem bolts.....OK, OK!!!! You wanna see a grown man beg?

krystar

whenever i do my next clutch job, i'll do it the normal way (dropping tranny) and take the video.....if van hasn't already.

so far i've changed my clutch two times but both are with engine out of the car

Van

I don't foresee a clutch job in my future... But when I do one, I'll be sure to take video!

Anything else you want to see?

Rear wheel bearings, perhaps? I might have to change one of those.

krystar

damn..i just did that job...shoulda videoed it

83 944
