All,
I probably already posted this, but you really don’t need these tools as a matter fact I found it harder when using them to change the timing belts. I think the only one that tends to slip off is the farthest cam on the firewall side, but if it slips off, it just closes a valve not opens it. I also found in order to get the timing belts over the cams. They needed to move a career so in each direction and having this device on there, slows it down that said I bought one, but I’ve changed the belts two or three times now without using it. I’m sure others may have other opinions and I’m not an expert. She’s going by my experience. I’ve used the cardboard under the cam caps also too….

When I change the timing belt without taking off the valve covers, I rotated to top dead center clean off the areas behind the pulleys and market really well with a sharpie onto the cam seal and onto the cam.

the most important part of this job is getting the hill, tensioner bearings….. and possibly changing the lower cam belt, outer pulleys bearings.

Finally, someone who gets it. As someone who has been changing belts on Ferraris for over 40 years, cam lock tools are a hindrance, not an asset.
