Do any of you use camshaft holder tools that you can recommend? It's just such a pita to keep the cams from moving when installing the timing belt. The small holes in the cam plate/cams are good for torquing the cam bolts but they do allow a few mm of play.

 

I want one too

 

i have a matco one for sale brand new if anyone is intrested

 

Is it this one? Did it work?

 

naw its not that one.... ive never used it. i always just have one of my buddies of the gears with a wrench

hell, i havent ever needed one. my cams stay still on my head.

 

I don't use them either.

 

I don't know what the problem is. Others I've talked to say the cams don't move when installing the belt either. What ends up happening is that the intake cams moves a tooth or two counterclockwise and the exhaust cam does the same thing, but clockwise.

I've seen that one on the snap on truck. I think a company OTC makes it. Kind of iffy if you ask me.

 

Never needed it but use the method I suggested.

Where's your build thread anyway?

 

Here is a tool that I use for b-series vtec motors... too bad that don't make one for H22's because it works great! Best tool i've used so far.

Please explain how these work - I'm too tired to figure it out

 

Blake/98vtec tried that tool and returned it because it didn't work well.

 

heavy duty zip ties work for me

thats what i told him

 

why do you need a tool? just move the cam back with a wrench on the cam gear bolt. put the belt on the pulley. then put the wrench on the other gear bolt up till the marks match up on both gears. slide the belt on & set the tensioner. then take the crank around 2 times & check the tension on the belt. this is not rocket science, & NO tool is needed.

 

cheers to zip ties

 

How'd it end up?
