How do I use this kit safely and efficiently in my shop?

Begin by confirming your engine code and following the included instructions to locate timing marks.

Work methodically and keep the tools clean to maintain accuracy.

• Verify vehicle engine code against compatibility list before starting
• Install cam locks, then crank/socket flywheel lock in sequence for stable alignment
• Follow torque and service procedures in your factory manual while using the kit
