Here's a good place to get them. Scroll down to the very bottom

Porsche
Two reasons
1/ if I use the 993 sprockets the timing tool hooks into the "back" (or other end) of the cam.

2/ one side (right) has a either cam sensor or power steering drive sticking out of the tower.

Thanks for the link, but it's looking like cutting a key slot is the cheapest route.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
