Why This Tool Matters
Fiat Twin Cam engines require exact camshaft positioning during timing belt service. Without proper locking, piston-to-valve contact becomes possible, resulting in catastrophic engine damage. This kit's indexed holes and multi-point contact design eliminate guesswork and ensure repeatable accuracy every time—protecting your reputation and reducing warranty claims.
