Did you change out the timing chain guides? If not, that is a 10 year replacement item. I recommend to every new 16 valve 944 owner to remove the cams and have the chain itself replaced as well, I have seen a chain fail when the guides and tensioner were perfectly fine.

Some RTV (Reinzseal is the best) is required on the 'bump' below the timing chain mechanism, since that area of the gasket gets BLASTED with oil constantly. M1 15w50 is the best S2 oil too, FYI.

Are the motor mounts yellow zinc plated? If they are, then they are genuine Porsches. If they are not, get them replaced with genuines. All of the aftermarket 944 mounts are absolute junk. My 91 S2 coupe had it's original engine mounts (which are the same design you buy new today) and those original mounts dated 1990 were bad, but still worked better than the new aftermarket junk.

And also read up about converting the top to manual operation. It has two motors, and there is no circuit to detect if one quit working, so it will snap the pot metal convertible top frame like butter, and good luck getting a new top frame.

Anyway, welcome to S2 life. The best of the 944.
