Its been seveal years (~5) since I did a T-Belt so I had to look up the engine rotation and a few other items. While looking over Wally Plumley's "THE 928 TIMING BELT/TENSIONER SYSTEM" I notice neither mention removing the spark plugs.
I'm I the only one that does this?

It does make it easier to rotate the crank. I didn't do it, and had no problem rotating the crank.

Possible to rotate crank pretty easily without.
Keeping them plugs installed eliminates 8 potential entry points for grit or parts or tools could enter the top end.

In my limited experience, it would take longer to remove and re-install the plugs than the extra time/effort to turn the crank with the plugs in. The crank turns easily enough with the plugs in.

It was easier, I already had spark plug wires off for repair ( https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...d-end-fail.htm l). Than sprayed some lube down the bores and finished it off by stuffing red rags in the spark plug hole to keep thing clean.
