Why This Matters

Timing belt work on Twinport engines demands absolute precision—even 1–2 tooth misalignment results in compression loss, bent valves, or valve-to-piston contact. This tool set eliminates human error by mechanically locking critical engine positions, reducing comeback rates and protecting shop reputation. For high-volume Vauxhall/Opel shops, bulk stock of this kit ensures every timing job is done right, every time.
