tool to prevent engine turning

[cmcfaul]

Hello,

What's the the tool for keeping the engine from turning when removing clutch bolts or timing the cams? Would make these tasks so much easier.

Also, is there a specific clutch alignment tool for the G50 Trans. Mine, for the 915, seems really loose.

Thanks,

^^This. But to remove the clutch and flywheel, you only need an electric impact wrench. TO put those back on and use a torque wrench, you will need it, or an assistant to hold a large screwdriver between the starter mounting stud and the teeth of the starter ring gear

You mean like this? (borrowed from joe-engineer dot com). You can also use a crescent wrench in place of the angled piece of metal.

I used a spare "loop" of steel I had sitting around from the non-porsche engine mount. Nothing fancy required.

A few of these Porsche special tools are really special, but some are just basic.

The G50 alignment tool typically has a 24-spline count (or sometimes 23-spline, depending on the specific model/aftermarket clutch) and a specific pilot bushing diameter to ensure a snug fit.
