What tools are included and what does each one do?

The kit contains camshaft alignment fixtures, crank positioning tools, chain and sprocket locking devices, seal installers, tensioner pins, and camshaft spacer pieces—enough for complete timing and basic head service. Most tools are cross-referenced to OEM part numbers for easy identification.

• T10352 camshaft adjusting socket and T10355 pulley holding wrench for safe cam rotation.
• T40191 spacer pieces (two large T40191/2 and three smaller T40191/1) to stabilize sliding camshaft components during reassembly.
• T40196 alignment pin set, T40265/T40266 locking pins and T40267 chain locking tool for precise timing lock.
• T10354 crankshaft seal installer and T10060A tensioner locking pin for installation and tension maintenance.

How does this kit help prevent timing mistakes during maintenance?

Using purpose-made alignment and locking tools ensures components remain in the correct position while you remove or refit timing components, drastically lowering the risk of mis-timing. The spacers and pins immobilize camshafts and chains so valves and pistons stay synchronized throughout the service procedure.

• Camshaft spacers keep sliding pieces in place when disassembling valve gear.
• Chain and pulley locks stop sprockets from rotating during removal or installation.
• Crank and cam alignment pins set exact timing reference points for reassembly.

What else comes with the kit and how is it packaged?

In addition to the tools themselves, the kit includes a durable portable case and an instruction manual that lists OEM-equivalent numbers for cross-referencing. The case keeps fixtures organized and ready for transport between jobs or shop bays.

• Complete list includes T10352, T10368, T40196, T10354, T10060A, T40011, T40098, T40267, T40271, T40191 and alignment adapters FVNST-9143-A/B.
• Hard case protects pieces and prevents lost parts during storage.
• Instruction manual offers step references and OEM part number mapping for easier identification.
