Review on πŸ”§ Bentolin Cam Timing Alignment Tools - Ford Mazda Duratec MZR 303 465 574 507 Zetec 2.0 2.3 SVT Compatible by Ben Boulanger

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Crankshaft pin worked great - camshaft rod bent - bolted our camshaft setup

We bought these in May but didn't start our project until July 1st so we can't even return this curved rod. As you can see in the photo, the rod is bent in the middle (there is a light shining underneath). The bar must be dead based on the videos we watched AFTER spending all our time using this bar. Because the crankshaft slots were bent, they weren't exactly aligned, causing our 2010 MZR Maxda3 2.0 camshafts to move a tooth, which then took us about 30 hours to get timing on the keyless crankshaft, and the Pistons hit the valve (luckily the hand turned). This is a terrible sync engine and this tool is wasting our time. The sync binding is ok. Hence 2 stars

Pros
  • The tool kit will be either black or zinc plated to prevent rust.
Cons
  • Updates
