Fiat 1.2 8V & 1.4 16V Engine Locking Tool Set – Camshaft & Crankshaft Timing Belt Service

Brief Overview

This is a dedicated engine locking tool kit designed specifically for Fiat 1.2 8V and 1.4 16V timing belt service work. It provides the precision fixtures needed to safely lock both the camshaft adjuster and crankshaft during belt replacement, preventing accidental rotation and ensuring accurate reassembly. The kit is supplied in a protective blue hard plastic carrying case with molded component storage, making it practical for workshop organization.
