I don't mean to hijack this thread but how many cam chain tensioner pads are there to be replaced on my 944S? I checked out this LINK and I only see one. Is there another?

There is a very thin pad on the bottom where the chain is tight between the sprockets on the cam. It's there to dampen the chain bounce.
Since the chain does not ride on it there is hardly any wear. Both are plastic that eventually hardens and cracks from engine heat and the oil.
