It helped me once. The tabs holding the cam wheels started to flex and I was only able to align one of the mounting bolts. It did the job but I'll probably find another brand to use next time I need this tool.
When the tool is installed correctly in the camshafts, the eyelets will not line up with the bolt holes. Now I need to adjust the eyelet on one side and hope I don't compromise the metal when tightening the screws. That should not be a problem!
