Call me crazy, but that E1 and A1 means something on that tool, which matches what I remember is on the cams. A and E, IIRC. So in that case, you may have reversed the tool? A would be intake and exhaust would be E.

 

I used that tool on my '85. It worked fine.

+1 on making sure you have the cams on the correct side of the engine. Don't check the markings on the end...check the raised numbers on the shaft.

"E" is for intake
"A" is for exhaust

 

its left side and right side

ah oh. if "E" means exhaust, no wonder im down on power. this pic looks like "E" is on the intake side!! ahhhhhh!

I am also getting ready to do this. I thought the WSM stated that there 2 seperate tools for the seperate years. I.E.
MY 85/86 tool # 9226
MY 87 forward tool # 9248

 

mine are being checked for the GT CAMS and its an S4 tool\

one of them is 9225-3

 

rotate the cams a little until the too get seated on both cams. right now, it looks like you need to rotate the exhaust cam CCW to make the intake cam fit the tool. if that doesnt work, you are off a tooth.
the next best thing to do is get the 113mm between the marks.

let us know what you find.

Well, ****, there you go. Of course E means intake and A is exhaust.
Where do I get this tool?

 

Brendan,
The way I understand it (and according to my telephone conversation with DR ) we need both sets of tools #9226 & #9248 for proper uninstall and install on the 87' S4. (someone please correct me if I am wrong)

I have been waiting on tool # 9226 which has the alignment tools you see in the above pic's. I should get them by next Tuesday. When are you needing these? I could loan these to you as I will not be needing the alignment tools for several weeks. (#9226 is a little pricey @ 276.25)

 

Remember...zee engineers were German, so they probably spoke German, too

 

Hammer...how about making a photocopy of those tools with size measurements so folks here can make their own?

 

FYI...

Thanks for the offer! But I have S3 cams. Would that make a difference?

 

I traced them and was going to make a set out of wood. Hasnt happened yet, but i do have the tracings.

Nope...they're the same.

 

Since they are the same per Dave, then I would love to borrow them. But it would only be needed, probably AFTER you used them.
