Advancing or retarding the camshafts in relation to the crankshaft is another performance tool you have to move your power and torque exactly where you want it.
Advancing a camshaft opens the intake earlier and closes the exhaust earlier. This will shift the power curve down, and produce more low range torque at the loss of a little top-end power.
Retarding the camshafts shifts the power band up, increasing mid-range and top-end torque, at the loss of the bottom-end.
Its easy to do on the 16v 928 and 8v 944 engines - removing the timing belt, then camshaft sprocket, replace the key and re-assemble.
We also have longer offset keys for the 32v 928, 951 and 968, for use in the same way when combined with the cam adjustments provided on Page 15-134 of the WSM.
Precision Made: These camshaft keys are precision machined to an exact fit for all Porsche and Mercedes camshafts using 4mm keyways.
Each kit includes:
- One 2-degree offset key
- One 4-degree offset key
- Enough to tune one 4 cylinder engine (single camshaft)
- For V-8's, buy two sets (as shown)
Ordering information: The early Porsche 928 and 944-2 valve per cylinder engines use camshaft keys that are 16mm long. The 4-valve per cylinder 928, 951 and 968 engines use slightly longer 22mm keys. Specify when ordering.
