Porsche Enthusiasts Club Forum

Hello All,

I own a 944s which has been in the wars a little recently, and as such I am looking for some suppliers for replacement parts.

The car had a cam belt failure about 2 minutes after a strange knocking noise prompted me to drive the car straight to the garage I am looking for a set of exhaust valves, a fuel rail and also a hall sender as the latter items either broke or fell apart when removing the head from the car.

I had everything else checked by someone who thinks it will run fine again, the valves I would like to find cheaper but any help or contacts would be appreciated.

Kind Regards,

DA-EVO

Is it a 8 or 16 valve motor?

Thanks for the reply, the car is the 944S 16v 2.5 litre and approx 1988 age.

deffo find another head it'll be cheaper! You've not only got valve costs which are considerable, you could also have valve guide & seat damage. I would try G & S Valves at http://www.gsvalves.co.uk/Company.htm used them in the past & they have been very good.
Don't forget TiPEC members get 10% or better at OPCs. John Hoskin at OPC Tonbridge will also post bits if needed.

Thanks again, I will get it all checked out.

I am assured that the valve seats / guides are all fine and that the engine suffered minimal damage (quite lucky i was sat stationary when it happened) However, I don't know what the going rate for a 16v head is so I will have a look at that too. I am basically trying to weigh up the costs of the best option and if that is a new head, that will be the way forward.

Cheers

I've definately got a fuel rail and I think a hall sender.

Hi, Don't think i can add much to the above. Except you got a great car well worth sorting.
Good luck getting her on the road agian!

Richy_s: I have sent you a PM if you are interested in selling it, thanks for letting me know.

J.J.: I would love to see it running again, albeit I will probably sell it after a short while as I have one too many cars for the moment, and if it were not for the failure it would have been sold anyway, I was looking for a 944 Turbo.

But yes, very fond of the 944

I am still looking for exhaust valves if anyone has a bright idea...

seems like they all went up £10 quid each in the last few weeks.



Thanks again.

Theres a complete S head on ebay. (16v) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Porsche-944S-2-5-Litre-16V-Cylinder-Head_W0QQitemZ230243581777QQihZ013QQcategoryZ10408QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I would try hard for that! These are getting hard to find!

Hmm, them eBay searches I set up clearly didn't do the trick then!

Thanks a lot for that, would have missed it.

That'll be a bargain for a tenner (if the valves are in good condition). At least the valves themselves are pretty cheap on an S - £27 each from Bert Gear. The 2.7 valves are £100 each

Hi Paul,

I meant that the usual places I tried were about £24.00 ea, then they have gone up to £34.00 I will check out Bert Gear as no doubt a timing chain will be useful.

Thanks

Dylan

£100 ea? OUCH!
