Kappa 838.A1 000 Camshaft timing tool

Unread post by Gumbi »

Hey folks,
i need your help. (this post was translated from Kappa 838B2.000 cam lock tools because im pretty desperate right now.

Im in search for the right tool for locking the Camshaft in the right timing.

So far i was looking in the Workshop manual, which says to me:
2446 20V: 1860819000
1998 20V: 1860818000
1860961000*
*Tools Valid for 96 range versions.

so i thought i need this tool, with the 8000 number: https://www.tuul.zone/brilliant-tools-n ... bt591270ks
I ordered it, but it doesnt fit. The exhaust cam fits perfectly, but the intake-cam has different positions for the screws, so as somebody in the german post said, i ordered a tool with the 9000 number:
https://www.ebay.de/itm/194498352168
but this doesnt fit.
The positions seems correct, but the circle is way bigger than the camshaft, like 2-3 mm.

Now my question, does someone know which tool i have to order? Im getting really frustrated and would love to get a link or the right tool to buy for it.

Greetings Gumbi
Viele Grüße

Hi,

This reply is probably not accurate now ... but

There are three 2 liters engines for the Kappa :
The normally aspirated 5 cylinders 20V (not available for the coupé).
The turbo 4 cylinders (T16) available on the first serie (sedan and coupé). It's the engine coming from the Thema, Delta and some other Lancia cars.
The turbo 5 cylinders (T20) available on the second serie (sedan and coupe). It's a Fiat engine.
I dont know about SW Kappa engines.

These three engines use probably differrent camshafts and so different timing tool.
So you need to be very careful. The information about "2 liters engine" is not enough.

On the other hand, to my knowledge the 2.0 and the 2.4 normally aspirated (gazoline) use the same timing tool. It's probably the one you are looking for

I suppose that it's not a complete reply, but if it help ...

Best regards,

Pierre
