Review on Orion Motor Tech Engine Timing by Patrick Burns

Revainrating 2 out of 5

All in all a decent tool. It could be better.

The tool has a few disadvantages. The pins in the crankshaft holder should be longer, go deeper into the tool head and be a bit stiffer. They bent down and freed themselves and tried to turn the crank pin the last 90 degrees. The 1/2" pull for the extension handle in the same tool was too small and needed some sanding with a dremel to fit the 1/2 drive punch rod. The tool used to remove the camshaft drive valve did not fit, the pins were too far apart and again required modification with Dremel. One of the dowel pins on the intake cam lock also had bent threads(?) and couldn't be screwed all the way into the block.

Pros
  • Timing belt tool
Cons
  • Modernity
