Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / Re: Wanted. V6 cam locking / setting kit.

« on: 02 January 2026, 12:50:10 »

As above. Im not in a great hurry for it as I will probably do the job after the Winter, but just putting feelers out in case someone has one they want rid of.
I already have the big ( 30mm iirc) spanner, just need the locking / setting tools.
Tia.

I have one I no longer need

I bought a Mercedes E class 350Cdi Estate to replace the Elite Estate I used to have, really love it, i'd buy another if i need to replace it. I've also got a 1990 Porsche 928 which keeps me poor..

Unsung hero car. I like them.

Has always been my desirable Porsche totally unattainable over 30 years ago but I bought mine when prices were low 9 years ago. Not cheap to run around 15 mpg on E5 petrol, 911 owners tend to look down their noses at them, it does get used but probably not enough. It goes to LeMans Classic (but not this year) every other year, I do quite a few car shows with it, the 5Lt V8 sounds lovely..

NA so I'm guessing 300-350 ponies.

Around 320, there has been a couple of bolt on supercharger kits from the States for around $9K but mainly for LHD and not really suitable for RHD

Lizze, my local one in Chatham (opposite Rochester airfield) were the cheapest for a pair of Continentals on my Porsche. I gave them a list of do's and don'ts, no air guns (he said they don't use air guns at all) the wheels need to be put back a certain way, there's a red dot on one of the wheel studs which goes opposite the valve, and the locking wheel nut goes over the red dot. Tyre pressure at 32 psi, and torque the wheel nuts to 110 N/m.

He wrote it on the job sheet and informed the fitter doing the work. I assume he did all that because I haven't checked yet... 

They seems a friendly bunch, I've used them before and probably use them again if the price is right.. But as said before it depends whose running the shop..

I've recently bought a Creality CR-10, as mentioned before they require a lot of setting up and then resetting when started back up. I have mine connected through a Raspberry Pi using Octoprint so its linked into my PC. Still trying to get to grips with 3D Cad drawings and Slicer settings.

There's a lot of stuff about most printers and software on youtube. Most of it seems to be making parts for the printers to correct in built faults before making anything useful..
