Not worth the investment

As a result of using this product, I found that it was very difficult to use and navigate, especially if you're not mechanically inclined. The instructions were poorly written and lacked diagrams, making it confusing for the average consumer. The one positive aspect of this product was that it did EVENTUALLY help align my engine, but it took far more time and effort than it should have. Overall I would not recommend this product to anyone in the automotive industry. .

Pros
  • Ensures precise alignment of camshaft during engine repair or maintenance
Cons
  • Requires proper knowledge and expertise to use correctly

Sometimes a little tweaking is needed

Factory tool is around $200. It might be a good deal but maybe a little wrong (too short), it's very heavy and thick. There is no way to bend by hand. However, to fix it, I use 2x4s of about the same length. Lay the tool on the ground with the pins facing up, slide the 2x4 tool, one end into the bend, the other end into the bend with the pins. and lightly hit the 2x4 a few times with a 5 or 10 pound sled. Repeat at the other end. It doesn't take much to fit. After that, you may need to…

Pros
  • Motor tools
Cons
  • Hard to tell
