Each camshaft tool is forged from chromium-molybdenum steel with a black oxide finish for corrosion and scratch resistance, and the crank positioning pin is made to locate factory timing positions. Use the set to remove and install timing chains, replace head gaskets, perform valve repairs, or any procedure where cam\/crank timing must be preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this kit protect engine timing during repairs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy immobilizing the camshafts and locking the crankshaft at the correct reference position, the tools prevent rotation of the valvetrain while chains, sprockets, or head components are removed.
