Thanks very much for the positive feedback, Dan. I'm glad you found it helpful.

I used your write up over Xmas to R&R my WP.

Excellent source and made the job a lot easier.

Now if the PO hadn't of stripped one of the bolt holes and filled it with JB Weld to secure the bolt, well that is another topic…

Just started my first TB/WP job on my '83 Euro-S and I'm using your post. It's a great data source. There IS one thing I'd add: When removing the clutch slave cylinder, I had to remove the clutch hose bracket on the opposite side of the starter to get the piston on the slave cylinder to come out. When I put things back together, I'm going to replace the bracket bolts with Allen heads. It took me a long time to remove those 2 bolts because I could only get 1/4 turn at a time.
I got to the point where I'm read to break torque on the crank bolt, and have called it a day. I don't have to work till Tues. so I have 2 more days.
The cam gears look OK to me, the belt track on the gears look polished but not really worn. ( But, I'm still cherry, what do I know). I'll get better pix when the TB is off. The belt tracks in the middle of the pass. side gear, but tracks on the forward edge of the driver's side gear. This may be due to the dead water pump bearings. In your pictures, the cam gears have the timing notches on the back, mine has the marks on the front. (See Pix) Maybe a stupid question, but: Seeing as I have a Euro with no air pump, is it possible to mount the alternator where the air pump usually goes?

@ jetdriver69--good stuff.
@ strikemaster--there are many here more qualified than me to evaluate your situation. I suggest that you start a new thread with a good, descriptive title so that your question will get their attention and you'll likely get some answers quickly.

Thanks for this write-up. I noticed i just in time before doing the job. It will give me the reassurance that all will be OK again.

Thanks, guys. I hope everybody that wants to use the write-up reads the whole thread so that they find the revised version in post #41.

Time to bump this insane thread one more time.

Hi everyone. Sorry I'm not on Rennlist as much as I'd like to be. Rust repair on my 914 restoration eats up almost all of my car time these days (well, for the last 6 years and counting). Thank God for galvanizing on 928s! I'm glad to see that folks still find the write-up helpful. I've done some very minor updates to the write-up. They are so minor that I considered not even updating this thread, but I thought perhaps I should update the file. I basically just added some advice regarding doing an oil change at the same time (I suggest it be done) and a few other tidbits including that, as of this writing, the OB tensioner boot is once again available. Happy wrenching!

Brad (checkmate1996) has compressed the file and made some formatting alterations. I especially like the linked table of contents which allows jumping to a given chapter of interest. Thanks Brad!!! Brad also provided a link to the writeup as follows: http://www.928buckeyelandsharks.com/cm/tsg/tbwp/

(It appears the system is not allowing the attachment. I saved it as a pdf for online viewing which made it just under 12,000 KB, but I guess that's still too big).
(Another attempt to add the attachment following Brad's/checkmate's editing of the file to reduce its size)

If the only good thing I ever do in life is occasionally bump this thread, my existence will have been worth it.
