Camshaft Timing Tool Kit for BMW Single Vanos 4 & 6 Cylinder

A BMW camshaft timing tool kit for single VANOS 4 and 6 cylinder engines, used when setting engine timing during timing chain removal and installation. It includes the key locking and positioning tools needed to hold the engine in the correct position while servicing camshafts, VANOS assemblies and related timing components.

Used for engine timing work in the workshop or during more involved garage repairs, this BMW timing tool set suits mechanics and experienced DIY users carrying out timing chain jobs, cylinder head assembly or camshaft removal. It is also useful when setting Top Dead Centre and when adjusting the VANOS position on compatible BMW engines, helping keep timing work accurate and controlled during strip-down and reassembly.

The timing locking kit includes a camshaft locking plate, VANOS turning wrench and Top Dead Centre pin, each intended for a specific part of the timing procedure. The locking plate aligns and holds the camshaft in position, while the TDC pin locks the flywheel at Top Dead Centre during camshaft or VANOS removal and refitting. A broad list of supported BMW engine codes is provided, along with OEM reference numbers 112300, 113240 and 115490 for compatibility checking. For regular servicing and timing chain work, having the correct locking tools to hand helps avoid guesswork and keeps the job more straightforward.
