This is what Pelican parts emailed me yesterday regarding my 2002 M96 Porsche 911

Trevar,

I do not list the camshaft tools for your vehicle at this time.

Thank you for contacting us.

For holding the cams, you also need the holders on the upper part of this kit

Thank you all for your help, what is different about my M96.03? Vertex shows one tool for my year and another site says will not work on M96.03 I believe it’s not the 997 tool. Can I buy the cam lock/holder by itself?

[Ahsai]

Forget about what models they say. All you need are the tools in my posts above for your engine.

[DBJoe996]

i would go with what Ahsai says.  No  one I know has more experience on the internals of the 996 911 except for maybe Jake at Flat Six.

[Trevar]

Thank you, that is what I will do

[Trevar]

Can we buy just the van holders out of that kit you sent a link to Ahsai? I am ordering the tools today. Thank you 

[Ahsai]

I don't think so. Basically you need to buy both kits to get what you need for cam timing. The extra tools that you don't need are for 3.4/3.6 engine assembly and 3.4 engine cam timing.

Ordered both these, thank you for your help on this.

Trevar, I see that it has been about 4 years since you purchased the EWK timing tool for your 911. I just had one of those cheap aluminum tools fail on me causing my timing to shift while torquing down the big camshaft nut. I may have bent a valve in the process! EWK is not making that set in 2022. So, if it is tucked away in your garage would you be interested in selling it? I can pay via Venmo right away. Thanks for your help.
