On a 944S, seeing the TDC mark from the top of the engine is a little
difficult because of all the wiring, oil vent hose, etc. However, the mark
on the bottom side is easy to see, and I'd take a look there. Same deal as
with the earlier cars in terms of location.

ok, I've changed timing belts many times, to convirm TDC you just look in
the little viewport above the flywheel and align the OT mark with the
pointer. Well, this is a 944S, and I can't see any OT mark, nor can I see
the pointer I expect. I have a 85.5 hard copy manual, it isn't any help. I
have a soft copy manual, the one from the web, and I have a soft copy 16
valve supplement - can't find anything saying how to set the TDC - anyone
care to offer a hint (yeah, I know, remove the head and look at piston #1 -
and several tricks involving a piece of dowell and removing #1 sparkplug
come to mind, but ...)
