Porsche 944 Timing Belt, Water Pump, Balance Shalft Belt 

We replace the timing belt, water pump, and balance shaft belts and seals on my 1983 Porsche 944. A timing belt job can seem daunting on any car. On the Porsche 944 they throw an extra wrench at you with the balance shaft belt. Fortunately you can get the timing completely wrong in the balance shaft and all you'll really experience is a bad vibration. These cars can run without the balance shaft belt installed (Though this isn't really recommended because the motor is mounted at a 45 degree angle, this creates a lot of NVH).
The timing belt is a fairly simple process as long as you follow the correct steps to ensure proper timing is maintained. I used a flywheel lock on my car to ensure top dead center was held while I was replacing the water pump and timing belt.
