The VS171 twin cam setting/locking tool kit has been designed for use on multi-valve engines (twin cam) to lock the camshafts, which are under pressure from compressed valve springs, from rotating out of their timing positions when the timing belt is removed. If the camshafts are allowed to move from their timing position possible damage to the inlet and exhaust valves may occur due to contact with the piston crown. By locking the camshafts in position it will allow easier replacement of the drive belt and reduce the risk of incorrect valve timing from taking place. The kit includes camshaft locking pins which can also cover specific crankshaft/flywheel locking applications.
