ok, the car is fixed, no more bad sounds. started at 8h , finisched at 18h and cleaned all the mess up.
the best thing i did was not driving it with that sound. a further inspection on the pump shows that puller and propellor can be wiggled up and down . if the bearing fails,,,stop the car as fast as possible was the best advice.
as i was repairing the car outside i had de abillity to use the karcher and clean the underside and front of the engine. also discovered that the oilpan bolts where verry loose, i snugged them all back, also the engine is realy oily,,deffenitly needs attention in the future.
tomorrow i can take it on the road, now i need a bath,
oh,,i found the 45°mark,,a little late,,,,i had some troubles with the camgears, ,,,,when removing the belt at 0/t they jump 5 tooth away from 0/T,,,at first i didnt see that and put the belt on,,,,when checking and turning the damper i could not bring the damper and gears at 0/T,i had to restart and set the gears ,,learned a lot now.
the 84 928 is a fine car to work on,

i will check it verry often, i left the passenger side cover of ,,on a 84 its an easy thing to check tension, just open the hood and check.
i have the continental belt, does it stretch more than others?
the old belt was to hard tensioned, 5mm past the thensioner tool, i need to replace the cam gears next time i work on the front, one was showing some wear on top of the teeth. all other gears looked fine. i just replace the 2 camgears.
the tensioner boot was britle and broke when i pushed it in, the o ring inside looked like hard plastic instead of soft rubber.
i am glad i did the job.
i think the po just changed the belt and the 2 rollers some time ago,,maby 5 years.

Super Sweet outcome. Isn't fixing something yourself rewarding! Now you know so much more about the car. Check your motor mounts now. That is a fun, frustrating and rewarding job you can feel the results of. Plan to have a helper there for the day. You can change your oil pan gasket while you are at it.
