OTC (6680) Cam Tool Kit to fit Land Rover LR3

Great product and although it is listed for Ford engines I bought this to use on a Land Rover LR3 which uses the same sockets. Once installed on my machine I would happily recommend this kit to any LR3, RRS or Jag owner. Much cheaper than the Land Rover equivalent.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Very Expensive

The pins will not come out of the outlet gear tool and .

Pins will not come out of the exhaust gear tool and the cam lock tool will not work on a 2001 Lincoln LS 3.9L Vin Code A engine. This is because the flattening of the tool enters the rounding on the camshaft before the flattening. I had to modify the tool to use a 1/4" round slot. Loops to go through the cam.

Pros
  • Great Product
Cons
  • Faulty

Must do the job. The pins in the gear holding tool were not tight enough, had to be welded on the first time the tool was used as they came out and almost fell into the engine. A second cam lock would be better than the first set of cams, which twist when the rod is moved to a different head during a procedure.

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • The list is getting long.

All components worked well except the wrench that helps hold the exhaust cams in place while you tighten the cam bolt. This tool sucks. The pins are not welded but pressed in and fall out rendering the tool useless. The sad thing is that OTC tools used to be made here in the US and were good, this tool is made in Taiwan, crappy steel and didn't last. Too bad about OTK.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Has issues

As another review says the pins are in the sprocket.

As mentioned in another review the pins in the sprocket locking tool hold no torque at all and fall out immediately. The pins only push about 1/8 inch into the lever so it's not possible to use it for its intended purpose. It's trivial if you have a welder or are willing to take the time to find/make replacement pins. At this point you can just cut out a piece of steel of the same shape and put screws into it. For the price this toolkit is designed for, this isn't an issue to deal with. Cheaper

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Band
