I have a feeling that Porscheshop only sells the top slipper pad for that price. The 911 kit does contain both, but at what a price for two small pieces of plastic!

Finally going to get my replacement head back from the machine shop this weekend so planning the swop to my car, does anyone know where to get a good deal on the cam chain slipper pads especially the lower one, it's not bad but thought I would do both while the car is in bits (944S2)? |

Yes Porscheshop only do the top pad design 911 is both but expensive for what they are. I am assuming when they say needs two chains per car they are talking about the 928 as I thought the 944 was a single chain, but could be wrong. |

Yep, single chain required on 944.

I got mine from OPC in the end, I did get some discount, but their price before discount was still cheaper than Design911 iirc. |

My bill for a HG change at Promax from last month shows this: 944 S2 Slipper Pad Kit - Top & bottom pads £78.25 (inc VAT) Stock ID 1235 Item Code 9/0. I suspect that's a very competitive price, so give Andy a call. HTH. |

Saw the Promax kit priced as you said with postage around £83 which although good is ridiculous for two bits of Nylon, I will give my local PC a ring and see what they come up with as they have always been good in the past. |

I paid less than the Promax price from OPC, but as I say, I did get a bit of discount. I'll dig the invoice out to check. |

Found similar when I bought my replacement valve springs, Design 911 were charging the same as OPC but then add on postage and VAT and even with the 5% Design 911 discount for PCGB the OPC worked out much cheaper, got one set of springs for around £21 and they were posted next day FOC usually get at least 10% discount from my local OPC. |

I'm thinking of tackling this myself on my 944S2 as it's at around 105,000 miles. Top and bottom slippers, plus the chain if I think it needs it. Probably not the tensioner itself. I have a few of questions : 1. Do Promax use genuine Porsche parts or are they copies? 2. Does anyone have a list of all parts and tools needed for the job? I know I need a new valve cover gasket & bolt gaskets. 3. Is there anywhere I can find the torque specs? 4. Is it really as complex as http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforums/9 ... -pads.html or is that just because that's on a 968? For a kick off, from what I can gather, the top and bottom slippers are the same on the 968, but that's not true on the 944. Cheers, Bryan |

EDDIE wrote: Thanks Nick. Given me most of what I need and a good guide too. The torque spec of 7.5lbft or 10NM seems to apply to all the bolts concerned. I still need part numbers (or better still, a resource where I can find them for myself) for : Valve cover gasket, valve cover bolt gaskets & the J-Tube washers. Can anyone help? Cheers, Bryan |
