Hey everyone,

I was hoping you could help me with the dimensions for the 9215 Alignment Tool for the OPRV. Either that or where I can get one?

If someone in the Indianapolis area has one that would be awesome, and I would share many beers to use it.

Thanks,
Rob

 

If you have an early style oprv don't worry about it. Its only crucial to use if you have the one piece oprv.

 

I recommend you do use one, if it is misaligned, the likelihood that the oil pressure will be off increases significantly. I have the late one that I can lend you... Just PayPal me for shipping from Portland OR. Shoot me a pm if you really want it.

 

Wait, huh? The early 3-piece OPRV's need a good alignment so the piston doesn't hang up on anything. The later one-piece versions essentially act as their own alignment tool.

I can put a mic on the tools in the morning. What OPRV do you have?

 

Thanks for the help Tom. I have the three piece OPRV. My car is an '86.

 

I'll see if I can find that alignment tool. They make a retro-fit one-piece OPRV that's worth considering in the meantime...

 

The early style one piece OPRV is about $400 new, and very rare used. I believe LART was selling a used one for $300.

 

$22...

Hey, I am in Hillsboro and was hoping by some miracle you still have the alignment tool. I need one and cannot currently find one other than a 3D print that has never been printed and tested.

 

There is one currently listed on ebay... search for porsche 9215

 

Jason is carrying the updated one , re-made from rennbay, it comes WITH the alignment tool for 200 bucks.. got one 2 weeks ago.

 

Hey this is Jason's (Jmac944) son Shea. We got ahold of the alignment tool (9215) from that ebay listing mentioned. We've started the process of rebuilding the front end/oil cooler, and the point we are stuck at is putting the OPRV back in. It is the early 3-piece style. It's been an absolute pain to try and compress the spring back into the block while also trying to spin the threads so it will hold.
Any suggestions for how to screw this thing back in? Trying to avoid the delay and cost of upgrading to the 1 piece OPRV as its about 200$ from 944online

 

I take it back, with a little finagling and sheer power of will, I managed to get it to thread in.
