Adjustable Grip for Timing Belt Wheels – BMW N13/N18 Engine Service Kit

Brief Overview

This is a specialized service kit designed specifically for timing belt and pulley work on BMW and Mini petrol engines. The set includes all three critical positioning and locking tools needed for safe and accurate camshaft adjustment, timing chain pre-tensioning, and crankshaft alignment during major engine service. If you're servicing timing systems on VW Group platforms, consider complementary solutions like an adjustable three-jaw timing pulley extractor for broader OEM coverage.

What's Included

• Camshaft Setting Tool – Positions the camshaft at the correct TDC location during valve timing adjustment
• Timing Chain Pre-Tensioning Tool – Applies controlled pressure to tension the timing chain to factory specifications before final lock-down
• Crankshaft Lock – Secures the crankshaft pulley during assembly and prevents rotation during timing work
• Alignment Pins & Spacer Blocks – Support components for precise positioning
• Custom-Molded Carrying Case – Protects components and organizes all tools for efficient workshop storage

Key Features

• Complete System Design – All three essential tools in one kit eliminates the need for multiple purchases
• Engine-Specific Fit – Engineered for BMW N13 and N18 petrol engines with exact OEM specifications
• Durable Metal Construction – Black coated steel components resist corrosion and withstand repeated use
• Organized Case Storage – Bright blue hard plastic case with custom-molded recesses keeps all components secure and prevents tool loss
• Simple Operation – Threaded puller mechanism with knurled adjustment for controlled, repeatable positioning

Business Advantages for Resellers

• High-Margin Specialist Tool – Timing service work commands premium labor rates; this kit is essential for shops targeting BMW/Mini platforms
• Recurring Service Demand – Timing chain maintenance is scheduled work; shops need reliable, OEM-compatible solutions
• Complete Kit Positioning – Sell as a bundle rather than individual components; higher transaction value per order
• Extended Lifespan – Durable construction means repeat customers will replace only when needed, not frequently
• Reduced Service Delays – Shops with this kit avoid costly order delays during critical engine work

Why This Kit Matters

Timing belt and chain service on BMW and Mini engines requires precision and control. Using improvised or generic tools risks:

• Misalignment of valve timing (leading to customer comebacks)
• Damage to the crankshaft pulley or camshaft
• Incorrect chain tension (premature wear or rattling)

This OEM-engineered kit eliminates guesswork and ensures shops can deliver reliable, warranty-backed timing work. The complete system approach also means technicians aren't scrambling for missing components mid-job.
