It worked great for me. I carefully checked my torque wrench for accuracy is all.

Looking forward to testing this out

I'm gonna print this timing belt tool and the cam sprocket lock tool and report how it works for me ... i'm in the middle of the head gasket job for 1985.5 944 n/a

I think this is such a smart tool design. Worked very well for me. Of course the BSB tension is still a bit of a mystery, but comparing with the cam belt helps to dial in a very good guesstimate.

I personally tensioned the new BSB to about a 135 degree twist. I also noted the tension of the old BSB coming off and snugged it up a bit to compensate for the newness. The P.O. of this car had a good mechanic so I'm thinking they were really in the proper range for used belts. As a Porsche mechanic explained; the BSB feels a bit looser than you'd perhaps think.

I'm very confident everything is good, but it all started with having a good initial tension for the cam belt which this tool was so wonderful for. Do I sound like a fan?
