Post subject: | Looking for 944s parts |
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 had everything else checked by someone who thinks it will run fine again, the valves I would like to find cheaper ![]() Kind Regards, DA-EVO |

Is it a 8 or 16 valve motor? |

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. |

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 D |

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. |

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 ![]() |

Thanks Dylan £100 ea? OUCH! |
