If one gets ahold of the books written by Jim Pasha, before he died a premature death, one has a whole WEALTH of information on these water coolers. I don't remember the name of it...... but it's a good one.
He wrote many articles as well for Panorama and Excellence and these back issues may be sourced easily. Bought off of ebay or sourced thru Up Fixin' der Porsche in PCA libraries.
Bruce Anderson ( also recently deceased ) wrote great informative articles on the watercooler fours.
( I am a learning instrument not a teaching instrument and do well at only passing on what I have learned from my own firsthand experience or know from reading these volumes on the four cylinder water cooled cars. I humbly thank you for the kind words, but I am not the source of great knowledge some of the true Masters of these cars are.)
Bill Burris and George Beuselinck are also GREAT sources of info, and guys like John Straub from SanDiego who crewed on Porsche 944s for teams like Alan Johnson and built up tremendous suspension setups, Greg Meyers from the southeast who also works on 944s in a service capacity, guru mechanics like Paul Boese who knows Porsches like the back of his hand, Lindsay Racing, Auto Edge from the twin Cities Mpls / St. Paul, and countless others spread across this land: Sean Cridland, Albert Broadfoot Racing, Van Swenson and his informative You Tube Videos..... there are LOTS of you greats I haven't even met yet. Racers, Mechanics, diehard enthusiasts; ALL know far more than me on these cars. I am merely a student and have humbly been one since 1982 when I first began to hear rumours of these cars and their design sprouting forth from Germany. I HAD to have one. Then another and another...... the more I found out about the rarities of certain cars, needed to then add that one to the group.
Well, you know how THAT goes.

I know the curse.. I'm only in the position to have one at the moment which is probably a good thing. Always say I could easily have another 2 or 3.. I'm too young to have experienced them properly back in their heyday but they've always had this unique aura around them I've loved. Same easily said for the 911 but the 944's always been a unique and separate animal that I've always been able to appreciate.
