I need to pick up a few tools to be able to time my cams on my 6cyl. engine.
The z-block seems to be easy to find but I am having a bit of trouble finding a dial gauge. I am guessing it measures cam lift but in metric but what does it measure mm? Is there a preferred type that will function with the z-block? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif) |

I have bought special tools from Pelican and from Ebay. Chain tensioners are Carrera set oil fed at $515. As the low price OEM German . I have the old castings from early 911 cases for chains and tensioners and the word is I need to machine those to fit the modern tensioners to fit in. I know I need to look at something when I get there. I have a 2.5 Engine with aluminum cases. What are you rebuilding?

I will be installing rebuilt tensioners on my 3.0 soon but I will be doing a complete rebuild of my other 3.0 down the road.
It sucks that they both use different cam tools! Burton73, do you just need spacers or new boxes? |

I think someone posted that hydro tensioners for just over 400 dollars but I can't remember who (you may want to do a search). |
