944S - Why Not Tensioner Sprocket Instead of Pad?
My car is an 85.5. But if I owned a 944S or S2, I'd be sorely tempted to remove the whole tensioner pad assembly and replace it with some sort of "tensioner sprocket," which I could adjust to the correct spec. Looking at photos it seems like this would be possible.
Not sure what Porsche was up to on this one...designing in such a critical part in a way which to me seems to almost guarantee its failure if not attended to religiously. Perhaps an extra sprocket would not fit after all?
At any rate, I'm just curious to know if anyone else has thought about some sort of DIY upgrade for this...or am I just being too picky?
