Lisle 36880 Dual Overhead Lock Review

Excellent. An indispensable tool. Worked exactly as expected. First I replaced the tensioner on the timing belt water pump. Veterok.1998. Honda b20b

Great product was a great tool for holding DOHC gears. I'm a professional mechanic and use this all the time. I've used it on several engines and it works great. It's also from Lisle so it's a great tool and durable. I would get it again.

Bought for my Volvo P80 with 2.4t engine and doesn't fit due to VVT on the exhaust cam. I've also tried using it on the sprocket teeth themselves and it doesn't fit either. Good quality tool and easy to use, just make sure it fits your application!

Tool looks well made and sturdy. The adjustment range did not work on my 2.8 liter jeep diesel. Each of the cross members has two roll pins that are designed to engage the underside of the pulley teeth. The width of these pins is not adjustable, so they didn't fit together properly in my case. However, if I could customize the turnbuckle beyond its design limitations, it would work for me. As always, Revane's return was easy and painless.

This came in handy when working with an Aveo dual cam timing belt, there is a spring loaded valve on the intake cam when the marks match and it wants to rotating the cam a few degrees in the wrong direction when trying to engage the belt, causing play between gears. This tool locks the cams and provides proper engine timing. You can do without it, but it simplifies the work and justifies its price. Fits multiple engines, see Lisle catalog for applications to ensure it fits you.
