Timing Lock Tool Set for Porsche 3.6L-4.8L V6/V8 and Audi Q7

Brief Overview

This is a precision timing lock and positioning kit designed specifically for Porsche and Audi multi-valve V6 and V8 engines. It provides the mechanical control needed to lock camshafts and crankshaft during critical service procedures—head gasket replacement, camshaft replacement, and timing chain service. The kit ensures accurate positioning without guesswork, reducing rework and protecting expensive engine internals. Whether you're servicing a Porsche Cayenne, Panamera, Carrera, or Audi Q7, this tool prevents costly timing errors.

If your shop also handles other Porsche models, consider pairing this kit with timing tools for 987/981/997/991 variants or Audi V8 timing positioning kits to cover your full Porsche and Audi service portfolio.

Key Features

• Three-Piece Camshaft Clamp Set: Black coated metal clamps with integrated mounting bosses for secure, repeatable positioning
• Crankshaft Positioning Pins: Two stainless ball-ended locating pins for precise crankshaft positioning
• Chain Tensioner Control Tool: Cylindrical locking adapter to manage chain tensioner pressure during service
• Hex Socket Adapter: 1/2-inch drive short socket (27mm, 6-angle) for socket wrench compatibility
• Silver Locator Plate: Precision-machined alignment adapter for additional positioning flexibility
• Professional Carrying Case: Custom-molded blue plastic case with labeled compartments and instructional guidance label
