Adjusting the timing of the VarioCam on the 968

[Dr944S2]

Hi,

my name is Jürgen from Germany, living not far from Stuttgart. I'm new here in the forum, but I make since long time video tutorials on classic Porsche cars. I'm proud to present you my newest video:

The video shows a step-by-step tutorial for adjusting the timing of the valves on the Porsche 968 with the VarioCam system for variable valve control. This adjustment is always necessary when parts of the valve control, such as camshafts, chain tensioner, slide rails or the timing belts have been replaced.



The video has a German soundtrack, the mother tongue of the Porsche cars, but detailed English subtitles are available on YouTube.

Enjoy it,

Jürgen

I have watched your videos before. They are fantastic. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Yes, Jürgen, thank you for your willingness to help others. Welcome aboard!

Oh cool, I have used your videos more than a few times over the years.

I might send you a PM in the future, I recently pulled the camshafts on my 91 S2 to replace the timing chain and need to set valve lift at some point, but it's "ok" for now. I was going to do a combination of your method the one by Van Svenson, to use one single gauge without any custom needle adapters to set it.

Hi,

on the S2 I use also only one dial gauge. There is also a video on this job:



Greetings,

Grüss Gott Jürgen!

I have viewed and used many of your videos for my 1987 944 S and 1987 944 Turbo. Your videos are a great asset to the 944 community.

I Love your videos and they have helped me a lot. Thanks for taking the time to film yourself, you are a master. Your attention to detail (cotton buds in blind threaded holes) is awesome.
