Locking Tool Set for Opel 2.2 16V Engines

Brief Overview

This specialized locking tool set is engineered for Opel 2.2 16V twin-cam engines, delivering the precision timing control required for crankshaft and water pump service work. The complete kit includes a spring-loaded holding bar with dual locking pins, a multi-hole adapter ring, a circular locking ring with engagement tab, and hex bolts—everything needed for secure crankshaft positioning during timing belt or chain replacement and water pump service.

If you also service earlier Opel models with different displacement engines, consider pairing this with timing lock tools for 1.3 CDTi engines to expand your service capability across the Opel lineup.
