Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Maximize Engine Performance with 8MILELAKE Engine Camshaft Alignment Timing Tool for BMW N12 N14 Mini Cooper by Ricardo Stewart

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Cheaply made, needs some work, be careful!

I've read some disheartening reviews that this toolkit needs modification to work with the n14 engine but bought it anyway. Well, it turns out this toolkit requires modifications to work. The crank lock pin will not fit without grinding it to a smaller diameter and the exhaust side camshaft locking tool needs to cut off a chunk to clean the turbo. The quality of the brackets is also not convincing. I'm pretty sure this is a bad set of imitations of something that will get these engines running with no problems. 2 stars for the fact that with a lot of trial and error and modification, the toolkit eventually does what you need it to.

Pros
  • I have my fingers crossed
Cons
  • Hard to say
