Rasta and Everyone,
First, thanks a million. Second, for V2, once I removed the flywheel lock and then removed all the spark plugs so that I could have good feel for the engine, I slowly tweaked the crankshaft. When I mean slowly, I mean very slowly. I first removed the little slack in the belt. Removing the slack does slightly move the crank. The Cam Shaft stayed TDC. Went to check on the Flywheel OT and grove and everything was perfectly matched up. So, V2, I'm not even 1/2 a tooth off. Big relief. The flywheel lock is vital.
And, the balance shafts are perfectly on their marks also.
So, lesson learned for all the Porsche 944 Pelican folks - the Flywheel lock could cause the flywheel to move slight amount when you lock down the lock with the starter bolts once you get everything TDC. If you check and it moves a slight bit. No worries. Second lesson, taking the slack out of the belt means the crankshaft moves ever so slightly without the cam shaft moving and the OT and grove in the flywheel window will move.
So, now I have to replace the slave cylinder and I'm going to go ahead and get at the master cylinder also.
Then a coolant flush, new oil, new gas filter, and maybe new plugs. I already put on a new rotor.
Again, thanks to this forum and this group for sharing their collective knowledge on these great cars.
I will get some pics soon. Black on black with fuchs all around 7s up front and 8s in the back. Now I need to find good 15 inch tires.
Oh yeah, no cracks in the dash - none. Perfect seats too. Been in a temperature controlled garage for years. All factory, everything, even the Blaupunkt stereo and original speakers and it all works. Incredible.
