Customer Questions & Answers

What are the dimensions and weight of the complete kit, and what exactly is included in the box?

The kit usually includes a camshaft locking tool (OEM reference 114280), a transmitter wheel locking tool (OEM 114290), and a crankshaft locking tool (OEM 110300). Total weight is around 1.2–1.8 kg depending on the manufacturer and packaging. The parts are machined from hardened steel, generally between 100 mm and 250 mm in length each. It is recommended to check the contents with the supplier before purchase due to possible slight variations.

Does it require additional tools for installation and safe use, or is the kit sufficient as supplied?

The kit covers the main locking tools, but for timing belt removal or replacement, torque wrenches, sockets and other specific hand tools not included in the kit may be required. The kit only ensures alignment or locking; the full job requires basic workshop tools.

What mechanical tolerance do the kit parts have in relation to play with engine components, and how does this affect timing accuracy?

Tools of this type are usually manufactured with fitting tolerances between 0.05 and 0.2 mm to ensure correct engagement without damaging components or allowing excessive play. This provides sufficient accuracy for timing reset or major maintenance, although it is always recommended to visually check the correct fit before tightening any component.

How does the quality of this kit compare with OEM alternatives or generic alignment tools, considering durability and precision?

This kit is designed to replicate OEM references in geometry and application, although it does not always reach the hardness or surface finish standards of original products. Compared with generic universal tools, it offers better adaptability and a lower risk of misalignment. Durability depends on the steel and treatments used; wear is low if it is used only occasionally in the workshop.

Which BMW models is this engine locking tool compatible with?

It is compatible with BMW 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, X3, X5 and Z4 Series models with N51, N52, N53 and N54 engines.

What does this tool do on the engine?

It allows the camshaft, trigger wheel and crankshaft to be locked for precise engine timing and alignment.

Is this tool suitable for Valvetronic engines?

Yes, it is compatible with petrol engines with Valvetronic technology such as the N51 and N52.

Does it include all the parts needed for engine locking?

Yes, it includes the camshaft, trigger wheel and crankshaft locking tools according to OEM specifications.

Who makes this tool?

The tool is made by TSX TOOL, recognised for its quality in automotive tools.
