I used it on my engine, but didn't on the '87 I sold. You're right. You don't need it. But if you have a close replica in plywood, it helps to make things idiot-proof. So why not use it.

This is 3MB scan of a copies made from original factory tool. Printing it in correct scale shown in cm's and cuting extra paper off is more than accurate enough.

Being a scan, the front face of the tool is to scale, so the pic is easily cleaned up as there's no distortion of that front face due to perspective.
Many thanks to you and Erkka for posting these.. even if people are convinced they're not needed, it's still fun to have for checking factory 32V cams

if you're doing cam work all you Really need is porken's tool and the home made hold down tools!! But I do agree if you can make a copy of these it's pretty cool!!

Thanks for all the help with this. It is a feel good thingee for me, an extra check that things are all right for a bumbler who needs it! I was thinking of making ABS parts off a rapid prototype machine at work, but laser cut
from AL would be a lot tougher.
WE (you?) should be able to figure out exact dims from knowing the distance between the cams and the angular orientation from the firing order. I didn't even think of that until a few days ago.
Thanks again for all the info
