Not sure where you are all from, but can anyone recommend a good shop to bring my 951 for tasks that are a bit more than I can handle (timing belt as an example)? Lower NY area.

I sent inquires to a bunch of places in the NJ/NY/CT area and I received a quick response from 1 for the following:
new timing/balance/ac/alt.belts
new timing and balance shaft belt rollers
camshaft/crankshaft/upper and lower balance shafts/rear cam housing cover gasket front engine seals
rebuilt factory water pump/new gasket/aux. thermostat fitting
coolant
total parts/labor -- 2600

is that fair?

Sounds optimistic to me. Rear balance shaft seals?

That's the itemized list they sent. Is there a such thing as rear balance shaft seals ?

A little bit of a drive but Zeigler Exotic Cars in PA does great work. They've done a lot of the larger jobs on my 951. Frank is the owner and is always a pleasure to deal with.

When you call Lynmor, Speak to Rich or Tim, tell them Stephen with the Turbo told you to call. They are near my office and I have been going to them for 10+ years.

1900 is ok as long as the water pump is also replaced and tensioners.
