Review on πŸ”§ YANWEN Subaru Cam Gear Lock Tool - Compatible with DOHC WRX, STi, FXT, LGT, OBXT by Jesse Stewart

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The camshafts also moved with the tool installed

Used a while ago to fix the camshafts on the driver's side when changing the timing belt. Spent, took off the belt and thought that everything was fine. When I was about to put on a new belt, I noticed to my great surprise that the camshafts had shifted a bit. And yes, the tool was properly tightened on the brackets, so that wasn't the problem. After that it happened to me again. I'm starting to wonder if the hex portion of the tool that fits into the hex bolt on the camshaft is too sloppy, allowing the camshafts to move a bit when the belt is removed. A bit annoying even though it's a fairly cheap tool so I guess you can't expect it to work as it's supposed to.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • I won't say anything
