Travis, you're the man! Based on what you've shared with me, I'm one of your first customers. As the 998's from early on (2017+) get more miles on them, I have customers asking me to check shim which I have been graciously declining based on having to extract tensioner. Assuming your invention works, it will be a breeze.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I've removed the exhaust cam on a Viper while I locked the intake cam sprocket to the exhaust sprocket with an old hinge. I was able to swing the exhaust sprocket out farm enough that I could remove the exhaust cam so that the tensioner did not extend.

Just wanted to provide an update on this. Did start to finish on valves on a 14 viper last month and the tool/concept worked great. Made a few changes to the tool shape and picked up my latest sample Friday last week. I was able to test it out today, and it's good to go. Going to get a batch made and will be ready to share the details soon!

It would be nice to have a video of the process using the tool for those of us less experienced folk wanting to do it ourselves. Worth thinking about when you release it. Just my $0.02

I did make a few videos explaining and showing how it all works. Also several tips and pointers during the process so one isn’t second guessing themselves the whole time.It would be nice to have a video of the process using the tool for those of us less experienced folk wanting to do it ourselves.

Send me your shipping info. There is one here for you on me. Thanks for turning me on to this project!Wow! Those of us who have done this procedure; this is amazing! A simple tool that saves a huge amount of headache.
Just placed the order for one. Not sure when I’ll need to use it based on miles accumulating due to the lack of snow lately.The tools are $30 and now in stock. You can order them on the website.
I did break down and also buy the rollover valve bypass kit.

Order placed; thanks again Travis! Like john928 above, I may not need it for a bit, hopefully more miles this year. But I'd rather be looking at it than looking for it. It'll go in my sled tool bag for when the time comes. I appreciate the videos too; that should help a bunch.
