Engine Timing Tool Kit for BMW M42 M50 M52 M60 VANOS

An engine timing tool kit for BMW M42, M50, M52 and M60 engines, used to set and hold the correct camshaft and crankshaft timing positions during servicing. It is intended for timing belt or timing chain work and includes the tools needed for VANOS-related jobs where accurate alignment matters.

Used for engine servicing, rebuild work and timing repairs, this BMW timing tool kit suits garage work, workshop use and more involved home maintenance on compatible engines. When replacing timing components or removing and installing the VANOS unit, the correct locking and turning tools help keep valve timing in position and reduce guesswork during strip-down and reassembly.

The kit includes a special wrench for controlled turning of the exhaust camshaft sprocket when working on the VANOS unit, along with a primary timing chain pre-load tool for tensioning the timing chain on M50 engines. Threaded tools are also included for different engine applications, with M22 threaded fitment for M42 and M60 engines, and M26 threaded fitment for M50 and M52 engines. This makes the set useful for covering several common BMW engine codes in one kit, which helps avoid hunting around for separate timing tools when service work comes in.
