XiTuanYuan Crankshaft & Camshaft Holding Tool Kit 2+1 — Ford Windsor/Triton V8/V10, CrMo Steel Black-Oxide

XiTuanYuan's 2+1 crankshaft positioning and camshaft holding tool kit locks camshafts and the crankshaft securely to preserve correct engine timing during repairs.

Designed for Ford Windsor and Triton V8/V10 engines from 1997–2002, this professional-grade kit includes two hardened camshaft holders and one crankshaft positioning pin to support timing chain, head gasket, and valve-train services. Machined from chromium-molybdenum steel with a black-oxide finish, the tools resist corrosion and surface wear so technicians and DIYers can repeat use without losing precision. The kit replaces commonly used OEM numbers and provides a simple, reliable way to stabilize engine components while you work.

How does this kit protect engine timing while I perform repairs?

By mechanically locking the camshafts and crankshaft in their correct service positions, the kit prevents rotation that could alter valve timing. That keeps valve timing relationships intact while removing or reinstalling timing chains, cylinder heads, or front covers.

• Two camshaft holding tools secure both camshafts simultaneously.
• Crankshaft positioning tool fixes crank location for accurate alignment.
• Fits specified Ford 4.6L, 5.4L, and 6.8L engines for direct application.

What makes these tools durable and precise?

Each camshaft tool is forged from chromium-molybdenum steel and treated with a black oxide coating to reduce rust and surface abrasion. Precision machining ensures consistent engagement with cam lobes and timing points so the locked positions remain repeatable during service.

• Hardened steel construction for longevity under workshop conditions.
• Black oxide finish for corrosion resistance and reduced glare.
• Accurate dimensions to match OEM timing locations and prevent slippage.

Which vehicles and part numbers does this kit cover?

The kit is engineered for Ford trucks and vans from 1997 through 2002 using Windsor and Triton engines. It replaces multiple OEM and aftermarket numbers to simplify sourcing for repairs across compatible models.

• Applies to 1997–2002 F-Series 4.6L and 5.4L V8 engines.
• Compatible with 1997–2002 Econoline 4.6L and 6.8L V10 engines.
• Replaces part numbers including T96T-6256-B, 303-557, 303-448, 6024, 525219, and equivalents.

How do I use the camshaft and crankshaft tools during a timing job?

After setting the engine to the specified service positions, install the crankshaft positioning pin into the crank timing hole and fit each cam holding tool over the camshaft ends. Confirm all fasteners and locating features engage before removing timing components.

• Rotate engine to service marks per factory procedure.
• Insert crank positioning tool to lock crankshaft position.
• Install both camshaft holding tools to secure cam timing; re-check alignment before disassembly.

Who is this for: The XiTuanYuan crankshaft positioning with camshaft holding tool kit is intended for professional mechanics, independent shops, and competent DIY enthusiasts servicing 1997–2002 Ford 4.6L/5.4L V8 and 6.8L V10 engines. It’s useful whenever timing chains, cylinder heads, valve trains, or front-end components are serviced and accurate, repeatable timing lockout is required. Keep factory procedures on hand and use the kit as part of a complete timing-service workflow to reduce the risk of misalignment during repair.
