Timing Tool Kit for BMW M60 M62 M62TU V8 VANOS Engine Set

A timing tool kit for BMW M60, M62 and M62TU V8 VANOS engines, used when checking and adjusting engine timing during servicing or repair work. It includes the specialist tools needed for camshaft locking, crankshaft locking, chain tensioner work and related timing setup jobs.

Used for engine repair, timing chain work and top-end servicing, this set suits workshop use as well as experienced vehicle maintenance work on compatible BMW V8 engines. It is relevant when timing has to be checked after engine work, when VANOS-related components are being serviced, or when accurate camshaft and crankshaft positioning is needed before reassembly. The listed applications also cover certain Range Rover, Land Rover and Morgan Aero models using the same engine family.

The set includes two camshaft alignment jigs, a TDC pin, a rigid chain tensioner, an M62 VANOS camshaft timing tool with two fixtures, a 32mm VANOS electromagnetic valve socket and an M62 chain tensioning bracket trestle. Having the correct timing tools to hand helps avoid guesswork on engine position and makes repeat timing checks more straightforward during strip-down and rebuild work. Compatibility is given for BMW chassis codes E31, E32, E34, E38, E39 and E53, along with equivalent OEM reference numbers supplied for identification when matching to existing workshop tooling requirements.
