Tools from Book
 

In the book I saw some tools to hold the connecting rods and chain up while putting the case halves togeather. Where can I purchase these?

Pelican. Search for "Porsche tool" in the "Search our on-line catalog:" box at the top of this page. You'll get them as the first two items listed.

Yeh but the dimensions are not to exact. and a couple are missing.

Oh what, we're planning on making our own camshaft holding too now too?

I once saw a picture of a guy that made his 911 engine stand out of 4x4's and plywood! It was on the web somewhere. I was in search os an engine stand for my project and ran accross it. What a nut!

Does anyone know of a place to buy a single mechanical chain tensioner for use in setting the cam timing as in the book? I can find them by the pair for about $70.

On the left side we use clamps, pulling on the housing.
Why not do the opposite and push on the right?
Try a home made jack screw arrangement.

A short section of pipe.
A bolt that telescopes into the pipe.
A washer and nut.

turn the nut to raise the bolt head. I ground a nice groove into the bolt to help locate it. I also placed a wood shim between the base of the pipe and the housing. The wood shim serves a dual purpose, raise the pipe& bolt up,and protecting the housing.

have fun


Creative use of things on hand can get you a long way..................


sometimes.

There's an alternative tool, a chain sprocket holder, which does the same thing:
