Go to Engine Timing Kits and read the product name against your engine. Many names give the makes, engine sizes or codes and the drive type, for example VAG 1.0, 1.2, 1.4 TSi belt drive or Renault K4J, K4M, F4P and F4R belt drive. Others give only the makes, such as Vauxhall, so confirm the listed applications before ordering. Single camshaft setting and locking tools sit under Camshaft Tools.
Belt and chain engines lock in different places and use different pins and plates, so the same make can need two kits. For example, there is a VAG 1.2 and 1.4 TFSi chain drive kit and a separate VAG 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4 TSi belt drive kit. A few kits, such as some Ford ones, cover both.
They are vehicle group abbreviations. VAG covers Audi, SEAT, Skoda and Volkswagen; PSA is Peugeot and Citroen; GM is General Motors, which here appears with Vauxhall/Opel, Chevrolet and Saab engines; JLR is Jaguar Land Rover. Because groups share engines, one kit often lists several makes, so check the engine size and code as well.
A master kit gathers the locking and setting tools for many engines from one manufacturer in a single case. The example here is a 36 piece diesel and petrol master kit for Ford belt and chain drive engines. It suits a workshop that sees that make regularly; for an occasional job a single-engine kit is enough.
A crankshaft rotator lets you turn the engine over by hand to reach timing marks or valve positions; those listed are for DAF, Mercedes and Volvo commercial engines and take a 1/2in square drive. A crankshaft holding tool stops the crankshaft or pulley turning while the pulley bolt is undone or tightened. Both are in Flywheel & Pulley Tools.
No. These are tool kits: locking pins, setting plates and holding tools that keep the camshaft, crankshaft and, on some diesel kits, the fuel injection pump in position while the belt or chain is changed. The belt, chain and tensioner themselves are engine parts, so use the kit name only to match the tools to the engine.
Engine Timing & Service Tools
This category covers tools for locking, setting and checking engine timing during cambelt, timing chain and related engine work. Engine Timing Kits is the largest page, with vehicle-specific kits for petrol and diesel engines with belt or chain driven camshafts, covering many car and commercial vehicle makes. Flywheel & Pulley Tools includes crankshaft rotators and crankshaft holding tools, and Camshaft Tools lists camshaft installation and setting kits.
Brands include Sealey, Draper, Sykes Pickavant and Govoni. Timing tools are engine-specific, so select a kit by vehicle make, engine capacity or code, fuel type and whether the engine uses a timing belt or chain, and confirm the listed applications before ordering. Crankshaft rotators are listed by drive size, such as 1/2in square drive, so check this against your ratchet or breaker bar.
