🔧 Enhance Engine Performance with Tool Guy Republic Timing Gear Clamp Set - Ensures Precise Valve Timing for Single, Dual, or Quad Overhead Cam Engines Review

Didn't work at all, kept slipping. I tried to keep it still and no, I never kept the gears in place. Instead, I used a giant allen wrench and stuck it between the gears and it worked. So if you have is300, gs300, sc300 or any 1j or 2j it won't work. 😕

I read the reviews on it and was apprehensive about buying it. But let me tell you, I'm a store manager and chief engineer and I think you're doing a great job. So far I've only used them on the Kia Sorento 03 but once I locked them the cams wouldn't move at all. I highly recommend.

The clamps included in the kit had trouble holding the camshafts in place. The clamp actually needs a slightly larger lip to properly clamp the cam. When trying to tighten the clamp for a stronger grip, the cams came out of the clamps. I didn't return them but they weren't particularly helpful. actually more frustrating than helpful.

I have read many reviews about it being short lived and falling off frequently. If you walk in knowing it's just plastic, it will serve you well. Do not overtighten the locking bolts. It doesn't take a lot of torque to hold them like they should. I've used this several times on different vehicles with no problems. Take your time getting it there and aligning it and it works great every time.
