Did NOT put it on my 944 Turbo when the motor was rebuilt by Lindsey Racing. Didn't plan to remove the motor again for a very long time. And as it turned out, no one will be as the car got parted by the guy I sold it to.

When I rebuilt the GTS after the cam gear broke off I didn't replace the stock timing belt tensioner with an aftermarket that doesn't require re-tensioning. Didn't replace it because the aftermarket one also got rid of the timing belt tension warning sensor. If anyone had trusted the warning system and tried to find why the warning was going off we would have found the gear hub cracked and been able to replace it before the cam broke preventing the cam end from breaking off. So I stuck with the stock system. Only have to re-check the tension every 40K miles or so. And the stock system does warn you if the belt starts to get loose.
