Cam deviations - Variocam tensioner pad time...

[imjustdad]

Hey gentlemen,

Just bought '99 986 w 134k on the clock; documented LN IMS about 5k ago. First thing I did was drop sump to see what could be seen. There was a bit of beige/brown plastic, the entirety of which would not cover a dime -- but enough to cause me to order a Durametric [as of yet not delivered] and check deviations.

At some point in the past, I have read that with a borescope, the Variocam pads were visible through some orifice... I'd love to put eyes on them. Does anyone know how/where to scope them??

Thanks!

Also, let me know how the durametric works out for you, I have the same 99 Boxster and considering buying one as it turns out the foxwell reader does not have all the functions on 99 cars.

Got it, thanks Homeoboxter. Will do!
