Default Cam locking tool

I am planning to replace the chain tensioners on my C2S. I need the cam locking tool. Where is best place to buy it from?

I have a 2005 C2S. I got mine on ebay for about $62 "Porsche Camshaft Alignment Timing Tool Kit 911". Only two pieces of the four were used.

I love the fact that our cars are getting older and are more and more in the hands of guys who actually do their own work on them. We have resources like Pete, and Rennlist. I'll bet the guys on the 992 forum (and maybe even most of the 991 forum) don't even know what a cam is, let alone that there is a tool to lock it or why

I know, uncalled for snark.

You need a tool to lock the crank pulley too. Some kits come with one or you can use a punch or appropriate sized drill bit. You'll need new sealing plugs as you'll destroy the old ones when removing them. These are the round plugs where the cam locking tool attaches. You have to take the ac compressor off to do the bank 2 side. The bank 1 side and IMS one are pretty easy. Do one at a time.
