Ken,
Dude. Very nice. (and your engine is so squeaky clean!)

What are you using for fender covers man?

Awesome. Second prototype fit perfectly. The socket locks the cam bolt washer to the hub so the bolt does not move at all. Big ol' 14" wrench tames the 'bucking bronco' 1-4 side.

One of those tools that make you laugh at how easy it is, especially if you have done a lot of cam adjustments 'the hard way'. I have no qualms about changing the timing on a whim, now. (Going to try 3° retard on my 5-speed.)


Hopefully available from your favorite 32V'r dealer by X-mas. (Ask for it!)

Thank you for clarifying. This post is as clear as the instructions I got with the original cam timing tool.

Ken,

That is very cool. Do you have a price point or know how many should be available by the holidays? I think I need to put this on my Christmas list.

Hey Ken, Man it sure would be good go get a set of these this week. Since I will be reassembling the cams this week, it would be nice to do it right the first time... I got the timing set from Roger and will be ordering the chips soon. I would rather have this tool and get the chips after I have run the engine for a few months. What do you think?

If you have to ask...click on my facebook page (<-) for the guesstimate retail.

You won't need these if you have the covers off. There are flats on the cams for a wrench. You'll want to check the timing after the belt has 500+ miles on it, anyway. Chips, TQrings, and FPR may be easier to install now.


I have a handful put together, but they won't be plated for a few weeks.
