Timing Chain Tensioner for Porsche – Essential Tool for Accurate Camshaft Timing Alignment
This timing chain tensioner tool is designed
specifically for Porsche models equipped with the M96 engine, including
the 986 Boxster, 987 Boxster, 996 Carrera and 997.1
Carrera. When performing timing chain replacement, camshaft timing
adjustments or major internal engine work, this tool is essential for applying
the correct tension to the timing chain to ensure precise camshaft alignment.

Because the M96 engine uses a multi-chain system with variable chain tension, maintaining the correct load on the chain is critical. Without controlled tension, the camshafts can drift out of position, resulting in misfires, camshaft correlation faults, loss of power or severe internal engine damage. This tensioner tool ensures safe and repeatable timing alignment during every rebuild or service.
What This Timing Chain Tensioner Tool Does
This specialised tool allows technicians to:
- Apply
accurate tension to the timing chain during timing setup
- Prevent
camshaft rotation while timing adjustments are made
- Support correct alignment of camshafts and crankshaft
- Replicate
operational chain loading for accurate timing calibration
- Assist with IMS-related timing work
- Improve precision during rebuilds, head gasket repairs and chain tensioner replacement
It is essential for working on the complex timing system of the M96 engine - Ideal for any workshop servicing early and mid-generation water-cooled flat-six engines.
Why Timing Chain Systems Fail on Porsche M96 Engines
The M96 engine is known for specific timing chain
vulnerabilities, including:
- Chain
stretch due to age and heat cycles
- Worn
chain guides, especially the plastic guide rails
- Hydraulic
tensioner fatigue, causing intermittent timing rattle
- IMS
bearing wear, which can influence chain tension
- Oil
contamination, impacting tensioner pressure
- Incorrect tension set during previous repairs
- Thermal expansion, causing chain slack or misalignment
Symptoms commonly include timing rattle on cold start, poor idle quality, VVT faults, misfires and check-engine lights.
Why You Should Replace or Use a Precision Timing Chain Tensioner Tool
A timing chain tensioner tool designed for the M96 engine
ensures:
- Accurate chain tension for safe timing setup
- Correct camshaft and crankshaft synchronisation
- Protection against piston-to-valve contact
- Cleaner, faster and more precise timing chain installation
- Fewer diagnostic errors during camshaft timing verification
- Reduced risk of long-term engine damage
- Professional-grade results, even in home workshop settings
This is a must-have tool for any timing chain or IMS-related service on the M96 engine.

Charger and trickle charger (5.0 A). The increased charging power reduces the battery's charging time.
An additional charge mode for Porsche lightweight batteries (lithium-ion) facilitates their use in motor sports.
Please note if your vehicle does not have a constant battery supply to the cigarette lighter you will need to purchase an extra adaptor (no. 95804490075) which connects direct to the battery.
