DPTOOL Engine Timing Tool Kit for BMW Mini Cooper N12/N13/N14/N16/N18 is a complete camshaft and crankshaft locking set engineered to secure timing components during belt or chain service on compatible engines.

This professional-grade kit provides the specialized fixtures and heavy-duty components required to lock twin camshafts and related timing parts for BMW N12, N13, N14, N16 and N18 engines found in many MINI Cooper models and related PSA vehicles. It’s supplied in a robust carry case and designed to match or exceed OEM fit and durability so technicians and experienced DIYers can perform timing jobs with accurate alignment and repeatable results.

Which engines and vehicles will this kit work with?

This kit is specifically made for BMW engines with codes N12, N13, N14, N16 and N18. It also supports a range of MINI Cooper model years and some PSA group applications where those engines were used. Always cross-check the exact engine code in the vehicle before ordering to confirm compatibility.

• Supported engines: N12 B16A, N13 B16A, N18 B16A/B16C, N16
• Common vehicles: MINI Cooper R55/R56/R57/R60 (various years) and some PSA 1.4/1.6 16V models
• OEM equivalents: replaces parts 117440, 119340, 119590, 196709

How does this kit help during a timing belt or chain replacement?

The set locks camshafts and crank positions so the engine’s timing stays fixed while belts, chains, or tensioners are removed and installed. By eliminating movement of timing components, it reduces the risk of misalignment and the need for repeated adjustments. The included fixtures make alignment straightforward and save time on the bench or in the garage.

• Camshaft locking tools keep lobes and sprockets immobilized
• Crank alignment pins ensure accurate TDC positioning
• Complete set avoids ordering multiple separate parts
