Does this 911 make my butt look big?  Group: Members Posts: 806 Joined: 23-January 03 From: Lowry Crossing, Texas Member No.: 185  |
looking for ideas. Mine is cut but it not large enough to be useful. So I'm going to enlarge it and would like to see others solutions.

My one and only experience with replacing a fan belt on a /6 with the engine in the car was at night, on a Texas freeway, 1000 miles from home. I had only owned the car less than a year. Luckily, it had the full toolkit and a spare belt. After waiting a while for the engine to cool down, I was able to replace the belt with just the factory supplied tools. Not easy, but doable. I would think it would more hassle removing the seats and back pad to get to an access panel than just doing it the 'right' way. And how often do you need to change a belt anyway?
Regarding the timing, on a factory six, the timing marks are on the flywheel and there is an access hole in the case. Very easy to put a timing light to; just a little unnerving adjusting the distributor to full advance at 6000 rpm. |
