944 flywheel lock should work... the 944 has the same starter, I have swapped those between models, so I don't see why the flywheel lock wouldn't bolt up.

You could just time it with a timing light.

As far as I know, with the normally aspirated 924, there weren't many (if any) changes to the engine.

You could possibly have a non-stock distributor, ...

There’s a later bulletin for torquing......
Cannot remember which, Hex or 12 point, but one is stretch and one isn’t if OEM Porsche. Non stretch can be reused but stretch bolts cannot.
Or go for Si ...

On my 1980 931 two of those were studs and the obscured one was a bolt. Guess they updated that for 1981.
I will say those bolts/studs were probably the worst part of replacing the turbo. Could not g ...

I can take some pictures of my MY 1980 931. It is definitely galvanised and there seems to be paint in the wheel wells, but I never looked too closely. I know my paint is original, and its a two tone ...

The factory service manual technical update bulletin for 1980 says that for all cylinder head bolts 1980 MY and up (polygon aka triple square) need to be torqued to 65Nm, then warm up the engine and ...

I would imagine this was done with some sort of industrial electroplating bath on the whole ch ...

I have a set of 944 factory manuals. Useful but I don't use them much anymore. PM of interested.

Otherwise, Clark's garage is your go to for sure. I will still reference his shop manual from time ...

Pulled the relay and opened it up. Its nasty inside. guess I'll need a new one. I'm gonna see if I can just jumper the fuel pump to check whether it has crapped out or whether there are more problems ...

Can you post a full engine bay shot? It looks wicked in that partial pic!

I'm also not much of an electrician, what does correct mean when used in 4 b and c of that link? and how would I go about correcting those connections if I had to?

I don't know how to test on a bench, nor do I think I have the proper equipment to do so. I did go ahead and test the relay in the harness as described in link 1 by larchie. The relay does not give po ...

ok, well apparently I was doing it wrong... live and learn.

SO now that I can test the fuses properly, the current at the relay is 13.6v or so at both sides, but the current at fuse #2 in the auxi ...
