Why use the M271 locking tool?

Precise timing setting is particularly important when working on the chain, camshaft sprockets and tensioner. Dedicated tools allow the camshafts to be set in the installation position and the chain to be secured against uncontrolled movement.

After completing the installation, the tool documentation recommends manually rotating the engine by at least two full rotations and rechecking the timing. Torque values and the procedure specific to a particular engine code should always be taken from the vehicle's service documentation.
