Homemade angle gauge for the crank girdle studs, and head studs if you use them.
12 point socket for the flywheel bolts
belt tension tools
rod bolt protection - you can use short lengths of fuel line over the threads to protect the crank during installation
that is all that comes to mind at the moment

dial indicator for checking axial crank play
dial bore guage for measuring cylinder bore
cc kit for checking compression (if not all stock)
plastigauge
precision straight edge for checking deck, head, other joints
big micrometer for pistons
drift for b/s bushings (9210)
I've found summit racing to be a good source for most of these tools.

For the record, i helped in rebuilding a 89 944 and a 930 a few years ago, though my part was minor, i still contributed, just like i am contributing here.
Unlike some people.

Dude you just sent me another message, thats like 3 in 3 minutes. Stop spamming me.
And yes I rebuilt my 924 engine (10 years ago), and my first 944 NA engine (7 years ago). I have not yet required any of my 952's to be rebuilt. I have also rebuilt an RB20DE...

Then instead of saying what i am sending you (which you are not allowed to and exaggerating it making it sound worse than it is) just share you information on rebuilding the 944 engine.
There goes another thread out the window, thanks you you're bragging.
over and out

You just asked me if I ever rebuilt a Porsche engine, I respond that I have, now I am bragging?

I'm sick of waiting for my car to be finished, and 10 months is more than enough standing around time waiting on this mechanic "friend". I've paid him more than enough money and paid for all the parts myself.
What does everyone think? Anyone in the upstate NY are willing to lend a hand?

To hosrom:
If you want to teach a Porsche trained mechanic you can do so - I don't.
(o.k. maybe he didn't want to do this work to...)
Besides: In the decade 944's were popular, he serviced lot's of them as he still does 911's (all kind).
He had only once a destroyed 951 engine owened by a ski champion.
Never ever one 951 with clackclack clack
My engine only has 125'000 km - so what is better worn bearings or new ones?
As a stock engine all bearings were standard (checked this).
You only have a big thing, if your crank is worn - mine was like new.
If there is no sign of wear nigther on the pistons nor on cylinder walls - why measure? New pistons rings also fitted - best to mount by two people.
After all it is not a rebuild for ever - just for another 100'000 km or so.
I will see what the rebuild was worth - so far engine has 1'000 km on the clock.
Last but not least: hopefully you still have time to reuild your car better than anybody else while writing those 6'067 posts since jan 2004..
So best wishes for your project.
kind regards
