What tools and OEM equivalents are included in the set?

The kit bundles the common EA888 timing tools you’d expect for a professional timing job: camshaft alignment tools, crankshaft positioning devices, chain locking pieces and tensioner pins. Many parts correspond to OEM reference numbers so they fit and function like the originals.

• T10352 camshaft adjusting socket and T10355 pulley holding wrench for cam control
• T40196 camshaft alignment pins, T40191 spacer pieces (large and small) for sliding-piece support
• T40267 chain locking tool, T10368 chain connector and T10060A tensioner locking pin
• Crankshaft seal installer, positioning pins, adapters and a portable storage case

How does using this kit improve timing service accuracy?

Using the correct alignment and locking tools reduces risk of cam/crank misalignment and wear caused by incorrect timing. The fixtures hold components in factory positions while you replace chains, tensioners or seals, making installations more precise and faster than improvised methods.

• Prevents rotation of camshafts and crankshaft during disassembly or reassembly
• Ensures chain and sprocket indexing matches factory timing marks
• Speeds service by grouping all required tools in one organized case
