Hi all, can anyone tell me if the following tool from Amazon would work for my 5 chain M96 (1999 C2)?



There are others on Amazon that work but this one is the cheapest I’ve found so far. Also, if anyone has a better/cheaper product/suggestion I’m open!

 

Yes thats for a 5 chain, mk1 car with a 3.4l engine.

 

Be careful with the cheap timing tools. The one I bought was clocked slightly, and ultimately off by about 3 degrees.

 

I think this is the same as the Wintools one if the picture is to be believed.

The other option is this:
I believe Finn used this and suggested it in one of his videos (the guy from Man in a Garage)

 

Either will work. U used the red one but i did have another, different style, lock tool to verify the cam position.
