As many other new owners I am doing my first timing belt.
I am using Dwaynes write-up as my guide. I am installing a Porken tensioner in place of the 928 tensioner.
First dumb question is after removing air pump can I get rid of this? (I used search and got alot of info on removing the A/P but unclear on this item.)

Leon Speed

Yes, but you'll have to plug the vacuum line, the hose to the cats and the opening on the underside of the air filter box.

Thanks, I had read that in my search.

Ole.............call me and I'll walk you through the parts that can be left behind

anyone know the size and thread pitch to plug the cat tube?

the flyin' scotsman

Just bend the cat tube over until you get a X pipe

I stuffed it full of JB Weld...worked like a charm.

Any tips for removing a stripped allen bolt? Someone has completly rounded this over.

Rotate the bracket CCW?



After removing the diverter valve, I plugged the hose below it with a cork. (Merlot, IIRC.)

Calgary Ole

The bracket has very little movement but I will try. Dumb question, will I need any of these parts when I replace with a porkentensioner?

PorKen

Tap it with a wee hammer, laddy.

All your {parts} are belong to us. Plug the water pump hole with the included 10mm SS set screw. (Red Loctite if dry, otherwise lots of silicon, flush w/face.)

Calgary Ole

Success! Many thanks and stay tuned for the next dumb question.

Calgary Ole

Ready for the p-tensioner and new timing belt

Always hard to tell from pics but inspect all gears prior to assembly.

The cam gears look somewhat worn and given Dwaynes recent failure its probably worth a 2nd look.

BTW........pads, paint and lock tool are ready for shipping
