I had the rattle and lack of power on my M3 for YEARS. Finally got around to doing the rebuild and these tools are absolutely KEY to make this successful. The only thing different with my setup was that I replaced my clutch/flywheel years ago with aftermarkets (which do not have a hole for the pin), so I didn't use the pin. Honestly, the cam locks are all you need to hold the engine still (unless you are changing the timing chain). I don't see myself ever needing this toolkit again, but for the price compared to other specialized sites, it was a no-brainer. For those doing this job, make sure you pay special attention to reassembly, there's a special sequence to preset/preload the Vanos unit before you push it back onto the cams!

The tool that spins the gear to release the vanos isn't properly made. I thought i was all set to got, had my cams locked and the pin is too fat to actually catch on the gear, luckily I was able to grind it down and make it fit, but not convenient when you're in the middle of a job to figure that part out.

had to file the part to fit the cam easier, was a really really tight fit and the lock rod needed a taper ground at the end to clear a boss in the block but what the hell you want for the price?!?!?!?

Crankshaft lock pin is to large, had to chuck in a drill and use sand paper to shave it down to fit. The camshaft tool is also not sized properly, had to use a dremel to shave down the pin on the tool to lock in to the sprocket. How hard is to size the tool properly?

Product looks to be of good quality but on the cam tool, I found the distance between the pin and the ring that fits inside of the gear was too tight. (It measured as 4.5 mm and it needed to be over 5 mm.) I was able to use a dremel to take a little off of the pin to get it to work.I wasn’t able to use the flywheel lock pin due to crud and corrosion on my motor.That’s the bad.The good.The cam locks worked great.Packed in a nice blow mold case and foam padding.To make removing the flywheel lock pin easier, I ran a cable tie thru the hole in it. Worked great while trying to withdraw it from the block.

Used it and it worked great. Time will tell how long it’ll last but it looks pretty sturdy.
