I have actially found some very weak markings Dave. Will post a pic when daylight is back. I have to send you something Danish for wll the help when this is done. A blond college girl in a green bikini!?
I have to say that I find a 928 much harder to work on than a 911/912.

I found that reinstall goes better with someone helping front the top. I threaded a tie down through the release arm hole so the guy up top handled all the weight, while I worked on alignment from underneath. I also had a 3/8" piece of plywood on my chest in case something went wrong.
BTW, can the clutch assembly be on the engine before putting the engine in the car? 911 style

I didn't on mine (90 GT single disk), but I am not sure you can squeeze it in there with the extra length. I have not heard of anyone doing it before. You can always try it and then just pull it back out and remove it if it doesn't.

The release arm for the clutch fits through a window in the bellhousing, so the bellhousing would have to be attached to the engine for the clutch to come along for the ride. And the intermediate shaft would have to be in place. So that's a pain in the *** to get the engine in, with the bellhousing/engine angled down (and nothing but a little drag to keep the intermediate shaft from falling out).
Then you have to properly torque all four TT bolts to the bellhousing with the clutch in place.
Way easier to put the clutch in after engine drop. Way. Huh-Whey.
