Monday and back to the shop class w/ no parts. Ordered parts Wednesday and paid for express shipping. Called parts house this AM and was told they never shipped because they were waiting on a seal.
The sales person sounded really pissed that the order was held up for this one part and he knew the part WAS in stock. He apologized and assured me it would ship today. Even gave me free shipping.
The porsche parts supplier is an advertiser here in R'list so they will remain unnamed.
Got everything ready for parts. Swapped out clutch slave and bled clutch/brakes. At a standstill w/o parts.

ECS Tuning (site sponsor) has a timing belt/ water pump kit that appears to be quite complete. Even has balance shaft belt and seals. I'll probably be purchasing it myself soon (as soon as my budget allows). I believe it is $562 for my early NA.

Use a large syringe and some flexible tubing (nylon?) and with sparkplugs out, put some ATF in the holes ( a couple ounces?) Let it sit overnight / weekend, this will help free up the rings and allow them to 'grab' the cylinder walls. After initial turn over of the engine, crank it over til ATF stops spitting out plug hole (messy!) The small amount of ATF left will burn up and come out of tail-pipe as a puff of smoke.
