Engine Teardown - Which Cam Tool?

[OsoMoore]

Per the rebuild book, I need some special camshaft tools. I have a 1979 SC, so I'm right on the line of what Wayne's book says is the tool type difference.

While I'm ordering tools, is there anything else I should order? I'm just about ready to take apart the block.

Pre-1980's: P202 and 46mm Crowfoot
Early 1980's: P9191

Do I need a lock for taking off the flywheel? I already removed the clutch without any issues.

The Stomski tool is fabulous. I’ve used the crow foot and holding tool as well and the Stomski one is so much better.

There is a special tool for holding the flywheel; Pelican is out of stock on it though. You might not need it if you use an impact to remove the bolts- might need it to do final torque on install. Can’t recall.

It is an SIR brand, so you may be able to get one elsewhere.

Google search gives a couple options on the lock. The SIR one needs their yolk to work, but there is one that bolts to the crankcase.

I have the Porsche yoke. I do have an impact wrench for the off version. I did see a few ideas online about ways to brace against the yoke for putting it on.

46 mm crowfoot, 17 mm across the cam flats, Hold the flywheel with long extension across bell housing bolts with 8 mm bolt to keep things from spinning.

The Stomski cam nut tool is fantastic. I also bought the cam timing fixture and digital gauge for doing my cam timing. Well worth it. I didn't buy a chain tensioner tool, though. I just made a fixture from PVC pipe, inserted a bolt in the hole and used a nut on the bolt to adjust tension. I drilled a hole in the pvc to allow it to fit on to the cam tensioner spindle. Worked great.
