Belt Adjustment

A pictorial on adjusting Timing Belts on the 951.  Warning: This is not a complete guide.  Please us a guide such as located on http://porsche-944-garage.tripod.com/ for clear instructions. (You might find these pictures on his page as well someday). When I was researching these cars, it was a mystery on how this was done.  These pictures are just to take some of the mystery out of this relatively simple process.

Disclaimer:  I'm not a trained Porsche mechanic.  I don't even own a set of factory manuals.  Verify everything you see before you attempt this on your own car. Severe damage can occur from improper adjustments.
