Anyone know where I can pick some up?

something to lock the cams in place while workin on it. I'm getting ready to do timing belt and valve adjustment and I've heard that these make life a lot easier.

lookin similar to this


I can't find any (And yes, I did search)

awsome idea, im in to find out also

 

I have seen this style for Volvos, looks like it would be easy to make with the right equipment:



Then again there's a lot less room in between the Honda cams.

 

MAC tools and im sure snap on makes them

 

If you can't find those, another good way to keep the belt and cam from moving its to buy 2 small PLASTIC c-clamps to clamp the belt on each cam gear

 

never seen that but looks like a good idea

 

why not just turn cyl1 to TDC all the marks should be lined up(crankbully to cover and cam gears to cover) take the belt on put the new belt on. just make sure nothing moved before tightening the tensioner.

 

if everything is stock, just put a 5mm punch drive trough the cams an they should be locked in cyl1 TDC.

 

ya, there's holes in the cam so you can hold them tdc. a couple of punches or screwdrivers will do the trick.

You can go to the hardware store and get a bolt and nut, each of then has a head that appears to have a washer built on, like a hat brim, the bolt is almost as big as the gap between the cam gears, screw the nut on to the point that when you slip the bolt and nut assy in between the gears the washer (hat brim) edges fit into a valley of the cam gear timing groove. It works exactly like your YELLOW tool but it only grabs in two places instead of 5 or 6.

I have also heard of the drift punch or drill bit pushed through a hole and locking the cam in place.
