Review on 8MILELAKE Camshaft Engine Timing Compatible by Tommie Lawson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works but will not fit

Frustrating. It's supposed to be a precision instrument, but it's not true. The larger of the two dowel pins was poorly machined. The shoulder of the larger diameter part expanded slightly, preventing the pin from entering the hole in the body. A similar problem prevented the thinner section from engaging the flywheel. Both required some light filing and sanding before the pin would work. The larger fit that holds the camshafts in place is designed so that neither the socket wrench nor the wrench will fit into the locking screw. I had to use an open-end wrench.

Pros
  • Applies to BMW 1 Series (114i; 116i; 118i); BMW 3 Series (316i; 320i)
Cons
  • Some bugs
