No. Locking points, cam shape and housing position all differ between engine families, so the marque and engine on the listing are the whole selection.

Locking holds the camshaft still while the belt or chain comes off. Positioning sets it to a reference point. Setting establishes the timing relationship before reassembly.

Often. A locking tool will not set timing and a setting tool will not hold a shaft against belt tension, so both are frequently needed on the same engine.

One that seats a new camshaft without damaging bearings or lobes as it goes in, which a general drift or press cannot do without risking the surfaces.

A camshaft tool is made for one engine family and does nothing on another. The locking points, the shape of the cam and the position of the housing all differ, so the marque and engine on the listing are the whole selection rather than a guide to it. A photograph of the head with the cover off is usually enough to identify what the engine needs.

Three different jobs sit under the same heading. Locking holds the camshaft still while the belt or chain is removed. Positioning sets it to a reference point. Installation seats a new camshaft without damaging bearings or lobes as it goes in. A positioning tool at 385mm covers engines where a marque-specific tool is not held, working to a reference rather than a fixed lock.

Getting the job right matters as much as the vehicle. A locking tool will not set timing and a setting tool will not hold a shaft against belt tension, so both are often needed on the same engine rather than one substituting for the other. Buying one and finding the other missing halfway through the job is the common outcome.

The tools here name their applications: a Rover Group locking tool, a VAG 1.4 and 1.6 16v FSi belt drive setting tool and a VAG and Porsche diesel installation kit. Full timing kits sit on their own leaf. Send the engine code to 07754288583 on WhatsApp. A Sykes CV joint and driveshaft tool is seated on the leaf alongside the camshaft tools.
