Effective & Easy to Use Engine Tool

After trying this product, I was impressed with its effectiveness and user-friendly design. It made adjusting the timing on my Ford's engine a breeze. The only con is that it's a bit pricey compared to other engine tools on the market. Overall, I would highly recommend this tool to any DIY mechanic or professional.

Pros
  • Accurate timing for 4 valves
Cons
  • Only compatible with Ford vehicles

Works great but needs two sets for DOHC

Perfect for locking the cam on my son's 32 valve Mustang V8 engine. It has 2 sets of heads, so we had to buy 2 sets. When we're done I might sell them to the local auto shop as part of their tool rental program because I don't plan on doing it again! They are well made and designed for tough use.

Pros
  • Timing Belt Tools
Cons
  • Quick Guide

This did the job but could be improved by OTC.

Works as intended and performs the same functions as the Ford Rotunda OEM tool. My only complaint is that they have to include TWO cam clamps. Yes, it costs a little more, but a second clamp is required when changing the chain. The two locking bars with the camshaft indicator are almost useless and actually more of a hindrance than a help. It is very difficult to fit these rods into the cams at the rear of the engine against the firewall. And then, after you've indexed them, getting them out of

Pros
  • Tools and equipment
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
