I am on the front end of attacking a 3.4 with an intermix problem. Hoping to find a cracked head... but we will see.

Building this 996 as a gift for my father (after verifying restored functionality once or twice ) -- I have a budget and would like to spend most of it on parts rather than tools. Wondering if any rennlisters would be willing to loan or rent me the below timing tools? I will likely end up fabricating the tools (as I have seen done often here) but thought to check in here first.

Also planning on swapping out RMS and IMS while the engine is on the stand and would like to have the right tools for the job. Is anyone willing to rent or loan these tools for a few?

Thanks in advance.

I have had success going the Ebay-rental-route; Buy the tools, use them, then sell'em on Ebay for a small loss that I consider to be the "rental charges".

Yep, will likely go down that route if I have to.

Anyone out there willing to help out?

I have an RMS tool and a I believe an IMS bearing I could sell you really cheap, I have no need for them anymore. PM me if your interested.
