So onto the engine, or so I thought, after a bit of reading I pressed the button on some exactfit belts and to be safe some moving tensioner bearings.

Whilst taking off the belt covers I noticed oil residue behind the rear cylinder.

Now theres a dilema. It's not much but I don't like it. So head and barrel off to repalce base gasket?

Hmm, last time I did that I snapped a ring on the horizontal cylinder, then there's that set of 944 pistons and standard spare barrels on the shelf. Get the barrels rebored and plated to 944, not this month.

Ok, on to other parts then.
