 This cutout was made for the horizontal fan bi-turbo in the black six. There is enough room for timing, alternator adj., wiring access and distributor removal.A new sheet metal cover ( same contour as orig. shape) was fab'd and installs with sheet metal screws. I like the green coverplate "John Deere" look ! Marty |

Best way to change the belt on a 6 is take the rear trunk lid off, get up in the trunk and you can easily change the belt and tensioners.

But it's fine for a race car. Why? Because you have flag stations, fire extinguishers, a flame-retardant suit, and so on.
Once again, we see that what makes for a good race car and what makes for a good street car are two different things. --DD |

There is a pretty old thread somewhere about this. It was hashed out back then as well.
Before you go cutting, go find a 986 and see what the FACTORY did. If nothing else, it should also give you some ideas on what is safe. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

Whatever you do don't spend more than a couple of hours doing it. Then DRIVE! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
