I am planning to do all the engine belts in my V6 Sport at some point, and I need to obtain the necessary tooling.
Has anyone ever used the timing tools from Laser Tools? The link to their specified tools for a V6 is here: https://www.lasertools.co.uk/toolpoint/mid/MIT13289
If that is incorrect, could anyone let me borrow theirs..?
Many thanks,
Jamie
You can do it without. Check out the VR4 timing belt change article.
I saw the V6-24 article that mentioned there was no need to lock the cams, is that applicable across all SOHC V6s?Quote:
