Description

Head Timing Tool M8 x 1.25 – Ducati Belt Roller Timing Pins (Pair)

Overview

This is a matched pair of M8 x 1.25 head timing tools designed for belt roller timing on Ducati motorcycles and compatible two-valve head engines. Each pin features a knurled cylindrical grip for secure handling and a smooth cylindrical locating section that threads into the head timing ports. These are essential for mechanics performing crankshaft and camshaft synchronization work. For distributors stocking Ducati-specific tools, we also offer alternative timing pin sizes for Ducati engines to cover a wider range of model years.

Key Features

  • Matched Pair: Two identical M8 x 1.25 timing pins supplied together
  • Knurled Grip Design: Diamond knurling provides secure grip during installation and removal
  • Clear Marking: "M8 x 1.25" stamped/painted on each handle for quick identification
  • Dark Phosphate/Black Oxide Finish: Corrosion-resistant surface suitable for workshop environments
  • Smooth Locating Pin: Precision-ground cylindrical pin for accurate head bore alignment
  • Short External Thread: M8 x 1.25 thread allows secure seating in head timing ports

Why Resellers Choose This Product

High-Demand Specification: M8 x 1.25 is the standard timing pin size for most Ducati two-valve models, making this a core inventory item for Ducati-focused shops.

Complete Pairing: Selling as a matched pair ensures mechanics have backup pins and eliminates the frustration of single-pin loss during storage.

Cross-Sell Opportunity: Bundle with thread repair kits for M8 x 1.25 stripped head ports to offer shops a complete timing solution package.
