944 Turbo S Engine Rebuild Thread

I think it’s just the light as they’re fine in the metal, not that the belt rides on those bits anyway.
 
Got the replacement Continental cam belt from Justin today and fitted it instead of the QH one.

Don’t know why really but gave me something to do!

Installed the rear bearing bridge, the 3 plastic disc seals and then cracked out the Reinsosil for the cam cover:

With that on and the heat shields under the manifolds I’m pretty much there. A couple of hoses to sort and I’ll remove the aircon compressor for packaging reasons - car is booked in for the engine being physically put back in along with the flywheel, clutch, bell housing, etc. in 2 weeks. I’ll get it recovered home and do all the wiring and plumbing then.

But until then, time to tidy the tools up and start working out how to wire the COP loom in:

I’ve got the wiring loom laid out for COP for when it goes back in - engine is being physically put back in in 3 days time!

I’d given some thought to the distributor cover and nobody seems to make a suitable one for the 16v engines so a mate popped by to take some measurements and then 3D printed me this from ABS so good up to about 260°C:

Perfect fit over the raised lip of the cover, so I drilled a hole at the top to hold it in place, sprayed it satin black and did the infill with some Guards Red touch up paint:

I’m pretty happy with that!
