Great kit, never done a timing belt before.

Great set I had never done a timing belt before buying this tool set. I followed the factory repair manual and used this kit on my cadillac 03 cts and it worked great.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Zero

Just like OEM. Works perfectly.

Great replica of a SUPER EXPENSIVE GM kit. Doesn't come with decent instructions on how to use it, but they can be found online. Anyone online who says you don't need it to time these machines is crazy. Additionally, even with this kit, the process of timing a car correctly is not for the faint of heart.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

but it easily saved me $5 to $600

I used it to change the timing belt on a 2002 Saturn Vue. Without that I wouldn't have dared to try. It locks everything in place to avoid disaster and hours of trying to reset the 4 cameras' time if something slips. I'll probably never use it again, but it's easily saved me $5-$600 on repairs.

Pros
  • Everything is great!
Cons
  • Secret

Useful kit for Saab V6

To replace the timing belt on a Saab 9-5 V6 I bought this kit and found it very useful. The only weak point, the key for the roller bolts was weak and bent a little under pressure. The rest was good and helpful. Make sure all marks are lined up properly so the "stop tool" fits snugly on the rim of the water pump.

Pros
  • High test results for support and durability
Cons
  • Updates available

a good set for independent work.

I decided to replace the timing belt on my 2001 Saab 9-5 SE along with the water pump and pulleys at 118,000 miles on the odometer (must be done every 60,000 on this car). bought this kit, water pump, timing belt kit ACDelco TCK285B, all from Amazon. everything worked fine except the aluminum bracket that came with the V-belt didn't fit and was a different design so I just swapped the pulleys from the new one for the original bracket and the job was done. This set of cam tools makes the job a…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires socket

It should be used in conjunction with an authoritative repair manual.

Everyone loves this instrument and so do I. It should be used in conjunction with the reputable repair manual and/or instructions accompanying the ACDelco Professional Timing Belt and Pulley Kit. There is also an ACDelco professional water pump for the V6. I found the instructions that came with the Gates ACDelco timing belt and pulley kit to be clear and easy to understand. The instructions included in the OTC Cam Tool Set are limited and should be supplemented with a repair manual and/or…

Pros
  • Dope πŸ”₯
Cons
  • Expensive

Just a Ticket to a Strange GM Engine

Normally one would hope that auto parts stores would lend this kit. Think again, nobody seemed to know what it was, and certainly not here in Columbus, Ohio. An auto parts store (found online) showed one in stock in Mason, Ohio. When I called the local store they said the warehouse was in Mason, Ohio but the item was out of stock. Lots of good things. Ordered a branded model (OTC) through Revain and got the absolute best price (even at E-Bay prices). The set exceeded my expectations. It came…
