Check that your tensioner arm shoulder bolt is not bent! That's one thing that might move the belt.

I think I checked that when I took it off. I'll double check before it goes back on.

Count me in for a set of 32 valve pointers. Let me know how much deposit or total you need.

It may be worthwhile to start a new thread titled "32 valve cam timing tool" or similar, to get the attention of 32 valve owners.

I'm in too Porken - for the 32V stuff - if its different then what I have for the 16V setup.

If you want a deposit, just say so.

I picked up the hubs from the machine shop today, and I will ship them out shortly.

I have only one used pair left for sale!

The machine shop messed up on one, so I have to order another. If more people want new or used, I'll add them to the order, but this will be all that I will make.

I've got the go ahead to work on the 32V pointer.

It will be laser cut, stainless steel, with 0 and + - degree marks. I'm still unsure how accurate it will be, compared to the lobe measurement, but it should be close, and a whole lot easier to do.

I'll start a new thread on the topic, in case there's things I haven't thought of that should be incorporated.

Note: It will work on the 16V conversions, so if and when the fancy pointer is available, I'll offer it for sale at my cost for those that have the hand-made pointers.

Nice new avatar, BC!

Thnks Ken. Just up on the computer now on a break from cleaning the newly powdercoated intake for the 4.5.

I gotta call you about the pulley stuff tuesday.

How many poeple have used these? Any extra tips? I bought one but haven't used it yet.

Any Euro experience? wondering about clearance issues.

PorKen

Note that the start of this thread shows the 16V prototype, here is the finished kit, as shipped:



Note: I have the parts for only (2) more kits, and it's unlikely that I will have more 16V pointers laser cut.
...

Harvey,

Don't you have the 32V kit?


clic pic for thread

Jim R. had a nice review of the tool (in this thread).

SMTCapeCod,

I've sold a couple to folks with 16V Euro's. You should safely be able go at least 4 cam degrees. The main benefit is to be able to syncronize the cams, which can be as much as 1/2 tooth off right/left.

SharkSkin

I have the kit, but will not get around to using it until it's time for a new timing belt in 45K miles or so. It just doesn't make sense to change out parts that only have 15K miles on them... I had no way of knowing whether Ken would still be making these when the time came for a new TB so I gambled... looks like I made the right choice.

OK OK OK OK .....
I realize this thread is 11 years old....
But a very interesting idea to consider.

Did they work?

Memories? Experiences? Are they still available?

Forgive me for reanimating a zombie thread LOL.

Is this adapter still for sale?

Jadz928 had a kit installed on his 84 Euro back then.
Car is now ours and the kit is still there, along with the 85 cam gears and a PKTensioner.
Works great.
