You get what you pay for

Bought for use on a DD15 engine to re-seal the camshaft housing. The turning tool broke immediately. I was able to fix it, but it wouldn't have worked unless it was moved away from the flywheel with shims. The adjustment pin worked but was looser than it should have been. A tool that locks their cams in time is a poor fit to the front of the engine. The pins were too tight in the cam body and one of them broke when the tool was removed. Cam sprocket timing bracket worked well. The timestamps are a bit off. All in all, this tool can be made to work and is certainly cheaper than the OE tool, but for those working with multiple DD engines, I think a higher quality tool would be a wise investment.

Pros
  • Engine Tools
Cons
  • Everything OK
