Mike, your having too much fun ... I see a new cam mount piece to hold your rotary devices 😳 Dropping engines in your sleep 🥳. What’s it take you these days in hours to get engine out and on a stand? You at one time sold off all Stomski gadgets for 964, if I recall? I did my first cam timing on 964 and used diy brake spreader. I did one side at a time and want to try again with factory tools to tension both sides before starting process... Too bad it takes removing flywheel to use a digital degree device, I am lazy ... Good work and Cheers! Matthew from Cali...
HI Matthew, thanks for the comments. I did sell off my stomski 964 tools, and probably wish I had not. What I noticed, was that the tensioners on left and right, are different lengths, but the stomski tensioners are same length, which made me question whether they were any more accurate than using a brake spreader.. I too used a brake spreader and compared to the tools, but found no discernible difference. As for dropping a motor, from start to finish, I guess about 3-4 hours. I don't have a lift but it's not a problem. As for the cam timing tool, well I had a fixture made that bolts to the flywheel.. so I do have to remove clutch and pressure plate, but flywheel can stay attached.
Hi Ross, I was experimenting with the torque curve. I advanced as much as possible which made it pretty torquey down low but it tapered off a bit too early. This is quite a few builds ago now. In the end I switched to a much larger cam from William Knight... I also set it to be fairly advanced to keep bottom end. But the cam is big enough to give heaps of too end and run past 7k eagerly.
First time I've seen valve clearance done with a dial gauge!
With the engine out, this is the best way. Also, for setting camshaft timing, it's good to have ultimate accuracy.
Nicely Done Mike! Very clean work and great choice using the full line of Stomski to set it up!
Thanks mate. I have watched all your videos! Impressive work :)
Good job 👍 👍

Nice. I noticed you set timing to max spec .. would it not be better to aim for spec mid range or does this push tq up higher rpm ..??

@@911engineguy I thought the earlier inlet opened (more advanced) the more peaky an engine .. am I on the wrong track there..??
@@rossmoultrie885 advancing moves torque earlier. Retarding shifts torque higher up in rpm range for more top end.
What tool is that trying to find it
Hector, these are from Stomski Tools in the usa
@@911engineguy thank you 4 the info
