I recently picked up a 1987 944 2.5 Base which had not been running for some time, after going through the normal checks, got it running. When checking the timing I had noticed that the flywheel timing mark (groove on flywheel) was off by some 30 or 40 degrees. Now I did check the timing mark at the distributor for DTC, balance roller, etc were dead on, cold compression check (142-44 psi) and number 1 piston was all the way up, prior to starting. My only conclusion is that at some point in the past, someone had misaligned/installed the flywheel. Have done clutches on these cars in the past, I tend to remember that the flywheel had a dowel and can only be installed in one position and that would put the flywheel time mark dead on in the inspection port-how can this one be off that much? (And run?) Anyone have an idea before I go through the effort of realignment?
