By the way i found that all with a 5 second google sarch...

 

i was looking for a specific one... evolution industries makes one...

 

hm, good to know that aftemarket cams dont have those holes. hey skunk2, if your reading this, put some holes in your pro series cams before i buy a set plz kthx.

otherwise, i'm in the market for one of these things, too.

 

First of all, why would you want to stick something in the cam gears to lock them in place? Are you trying to tighten the cam gear bolt? All you have to do is use an adjustable wrench and old down on the camshaft. No need to buy specialty tools for a simple job, folks.

Lock at the points encircled in RED:

 

^^ that only works on ls motors. the vtec motors don't have that. you know, that whole thing with the third rocker and all.

 

he wants a tool because vtec motors dont have the flat spots on the cams. they have holes in them you can lock with allen keys but they dont do that great of a job

in for results

 

this one looks nice, snap on. not sure how good it works though.

 

IF he is referring to a DOHC VTEC motor, then it is possible to use a 19mm pry bar and lock down the crank pulley...with the timing belt still attached of course. The torque spec for the cam gear bolt is less than 30lbs ft. if I remember correctly.

 

he's not trying to tighten the bolt. he's trying to keep the cams synced while he replaces the belt.

 

^^^^ gotcha.

 

http://www.lislecorp.com/search/ this one works pretty good you can get it from carquest $39.99

 

I just pikedout 2 drill bits that go in the lill holes nice and snug and thats how i do it.

 

evolution industries has one for 25 bucks....so you can lock cam gears while adjusting them..one piece design specialy for b series...aftermarket cams live sk2 and bc..dont have the holes so you can use the 2 drill bits...so you have to find another way to torque cam gears and adjust cam gear angles...
