I used a crush type feeler gauge when I did mine 4 years ago. This was my first and only rod bearing job. Must have turned out ok as car is still running well. My baffles were acquired in an exchange program. You supply your pan; they give you another with baffles. Used PowerHaus for this.
For my head/intake, I used another exchange program. Ended up with an extrude honed system with all new valves, springs, and o-ringed head. I probably did not go the least expensive route.
Some people cross drill the crank to improve the oiling on #2. Nothing has been done to mine. I never have had a problem with it. Before I added a second oil cooler, my oil pressure would drop during track sessions. I have seen oil pressure drop to just about 3 bars in other 944 cars. The students continued on their merry way oblivious of potential disaster. When mine dropped to 4 bars, I would slow down. With second oil cooler, it does not drop anymore.
