WHEW TB/WP finished!!
Just to update who all helped me. My mechanic pulled through wonderfully
he made me nervous at first when he said he never changed one on a 928 and that he didnt need any special tools. I guess that if your good your good. I watched him tension the belt where he thought it should be and checked it with the Kempf tool and it was right on. Now im ready for alignment and exhaust.
Thanks again to Bill Ball and everyone else who helped me.

I'm not surprised a 'real' wrench would resort to that ..... and Mike noted that it was properly checked anyway.

I just don't want to tempt the Gods or think about short cutting anything myself. My shortcuts end up leading to the long long way around.
But like you say, he did confirm the setting so everything is cool with the Gods.
