Application Notes

This tool kit is designed to lock the camshafts and position the crankshaft during timing belt installation, replacement, or repair work. The dual camshaft locking brackets simultaneously secure both intake and exhaust cams, preventing accidental rotation during engine work—critical for maintaining proper valve timing on turbocharged engines where timing drift can cause performance loss or engine damage.

For shops removing VCT pulleys, the A-2VCT pulley removal tool is a required companion purchase.
