This is a good idea. I also considered that if I pull the cam housing off and all the valves are at equal height I may be okay. What's the best way to get the cylinders in position? Just pull the spark plugs and watch them? I don't want to hit valves...

Has anyone in the history of interference engines ever lost a timing belt or chain and not messed up the valves??

Another question - I'm looking at an 88 head for this car. My parts manual does not list a cylinder head for an 88 944. Anyone know if it will bolt right up?

d.a. autry - if my head won't work I would like to pick up your extra. Would you be able to PM me an email address or phone #?
