Engine Locking Tool Set for Renault 1.4/1.6 16V

Brief Overview

This specialized locking tool set is engineered for timing belt replacement and camshaft synchronization on Renault 1.4 and 1.6-liter 16-valve engines. The kit eliminates guesswork during critical engine timing operations, ensuring precise alignment and reducing service time. If you stock camshaft alignment tools for other European platforms, this Renault-specific set completes your timing service capability across multiple engine families.

What's Included

• Crankshaft Locking Pin – Secures the crankshaft at TDC (top dead center) to prevent rotation during service
• 8mm TDC Timing Pin – Confirms crankshaft position and prevents accidental advancement
• Camshaft Setting Adapter – Dual-pulley alignment bracket with adjustable threaded locking knobs for precise positioning
• Camshaft Pulley Alignment Adapter – Triangular locking plate with indexing bushings for secondary confirmation

Key Features

• Engine-Specific Design: Manufactured to exact tolerances for K4J, K4M, F4P, and F4R engine variants
• Complete Four-Piece Kit: Covers both crankshaft and dual-camshaft locking in one operation
• Precision Metal Construction: All critical components are machined steel with indexed alignment bushings to eliminate positioning errors
• Professional-Grade Carrying Case: Custom-molded foam interior protects tools and organizes components for shop storage
• Reduces Service Time: Proper locking prevents repeated valve timing resets, cutting labor hours on timing belt jobs
• Prevents Cam-Out: Threaded locking mechanism on the camshaft adapter prevents slippage during tightening procedures
