Default VAS Valve adjust tool

Anyone in Houston have one of these VAS-911 adjustment tools? Or, anyone know where I can buy one?

Thanks for the PM

tbennett017 made a batch a few years ago. You may want to PM him to see if he has any left.

I have a few left. I don't plan on making more, but I have about a dozen.

I sent you a PM.

+1 on Kirk. Just did a reseal and reground my camshafts. Used this to set my timing. There's definitely a hang of it that you will need but I was able to confirm the settings with the standard feeler technique.

Ordered a VAS for later. Did the valve adjust today using the "back side" method. Seemed more accurate than the "J" tool with 0.1mm feeler.

Interesting Gizmo - Kirk Tool.

Its worth the extra cost. Without a doubt it is the simplest, easiest and most foolproof way to adjust the valve clearance in a 964. The first few valves you do with it, you'll end up triple-checking with whatever method you were using previously because it is so simple and dead-on, you end up thinking something must be wrong.
