Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

I have a diagram and have made one of these tools, but the set for the 3.4 engine would have been very helpful when I had my cams out.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just found these listings on eBay for tool sets for the 996 3.4 and 3.6 engines. One of the best prices I have seen for these tools. Here is the one for the 3.4 engine. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsc...motiveQ5fTools Seems to have two of the cam hold down tools for removing the cam cover. two tools for holding the cam in place after the cover is removed, OEM style cam allocation tool, TDC locking pin and what looks like the tools for installing the wrist pins when rebuilding the engine/installing the 1-3 pistons. At $599 (with another 5% off before May 31st) it is the lowest price I have seen for these tools, particularly when it includes the wrist pin tools. Here is the one for the 3.6 (VarioCamPlus) engine. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsc...motiveQ5fTools In this case it is only the cam allocation tools and a TDC locking pin. But only $155. You would still need the two sets of cam hold down tools. Just thought I would post this for others doing work on their engines. I have a diagram and have made one of these tools, but the set for the 3.4 engine would have been very helpful when I had my cams out.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
