KJE Camshaft Phaser & Timing Chain Tool Kit for 3.6L Pentastar (2011–2019) — Camshaft Holders + Crank Pulley Wrench

The KJE 3.6L Pentastar camshaft phaser and timing-chain tool kit is a complete, workshop-ready set that locks, holds and aligns camshafts and the crankshaft pulley for most 2011–2019 Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep 3.6L engines.

Whether you're changing a timing chain, servicing the cam phasers or reinstalling the crankshaft pulley, this kit brings together the specialty pieces technicians need to keep engine timing accurate and prevent unwanted rotation during repairs. Designed as a direct-fit aftermarket alternative to several factory part numbers, it comes organized in a durable case so every tool stays accessible on the bench or in a mobile toolbox.

How does this kit keep the camshafts and phasers from moving?

The set includes multiple camshaft retainers and phase-locking tools that secure the phasers and camshafts in their correct positions while you work. Using the correct retainer prevents slippage and preserves timing alignment during chain replacement or engine reassembly.

• Three timing-chain retainers for different positions and clearance needs
• Two phase locker pieces to immobilize the cam phasers
• Two camshaft-fixing tools to stabilize cam ends during installation

Which engines and vehicles is this timing tool kit compatible with?

This kit targets the 3.6L V6 Pentastar family used across Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and select Volkswagen applications from roughly 2011 through 2019. It is intended for standard Pentastar variants and does not support VVL-equipped engines.

• Designed for most 3.6L Pentastar engines (2011–2019)
• Fits Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep models such as Wrangler and Grand Cherokee
• Not compatible with VVL (variable valve lift) engine versions

What tools are included and how will they help during a timing job?

The kit contains nine dedicated pieces plus a crankshaft pulley wrench so you can lock, hold and turn the necessary components safely. Each tool addresses a common repair step, from locking the cam phasers to preventing crankshaft rotation while loosening or tightening the pulley bolt.

• Camshaft tensioner lock pin to hold the tensioner off during chain work
• Crankshaft pulley wrench to remove and install the front pulley safely
• Sturdy storage case keeps parts organized and protected

How does build quality affect repeat use and accuracy?

These tools are manufactured for strength and dimensional accuracy to withstand workshop torque and repositioning tasks without deforming. Durable construction helps maintain timing precision over multiple repairs, offering a cost-effective choice for garages and serious DIYers.

• Heavy-duty materials resist bending under load
• Precision-cut mating surfaces align with engine points for consistent results
• Reusable design built for repeated service cycles
