Description

Timing Lock Tool Set for Porsche V6 3.6L & V8 4.5/4.8L

Brief Overview

This is a comprehensive timing lock and positioning kit designed for precision work on Porsche V6 and V8 engines. The set enables technicians to lock camshafts and crankshafts in their correct positions during cylinder head gasket replacement, camshaft service, or timing chain work. If your shop handles Audi Q7 timing maintenance alongside Porsche models, a dedicated Audi Q7 timing positioning tool set provides complementary coverage for that platform.

Key Features & Components

  • Camshaft Locking Clamps (2x): U-shaped clamps with adjustment screws for secure camshaft positioning
  • Crankshaft Locating Pins (2x): Ball-tipped locating pins with chrome shafts for precise crankshaft alignment
  • Timing Plates (2x): Long slotted bars for chain and sprocket alignment verification
  • Cylindrical Locking Adapters (2x): Purpose-built pullers and lockers for chain tensioner access
  • Socket Adapter: 1/2" drive, 6-point, 27mm socket for fastener work during timing operations
  • Custom Molded Case: Blue plastic carrying case with dedicated component recesses and instruction label
