Efficient Camshaft Alignment Tool

This tool made camshaft alignment a breeze! It perfectly fits the compatible engine and ensured precise timing. The instructions were clear, and the quality of the material was excellent. The only downside was the lack of compatibility with some engines, so make sure to check before purchasing. Overall, a valuable addition to any automotive tool collection.

Pros
  • Compatible with a wide range of engines and models
Cons
  • Requires some technical knowledge to use and may be difficult for novice users to install correctly

machined with modifications

The tool that rotates the gear to loosen the vanos is not manufactured correctly. I thought I was done, my cams are locked and the pin is too fat to actually hook onto the gear. Luckily I was able to sand it and assemble it, but it's a hassle when you're in the middle of a job trying to figure that part out.

Pros
  • These tools are also compatible with 4 and 6 cylinder BMW engines without vanos (no variable valve timing).
Cons
  • Some errors

I don't know if something works.

Don't know. ok so it works after you grind down the pin to lock the flywheel. and I mean grind it well. moving vanos. the same, didn't fit in the sprocket as intended, had to sand the edges and pin on this tool. The blocks are really tight, probably the only part of this set that I haven't had to alter. I used this kit on a M50B25 engine. If you don't mind sanding things down to make them fit then this kit will do, otherwise stay away and don't buy it.

Pros
  • Vanos twist key -- Engines: M50, M52, S50us, S52us
Cons
  • Negative present
