Doing a cambelt change on my 225. And going to buy the cheap locking tools on ebay. (I know they can bend and things). Just wandering if it says they fit a f4r engine does that mean it will fit the Meganes' f4rt engine? thanks
Yeah I done my Clio 182 and my megane with the same tools. But deffo wouldn't undertake such a precision job with shitty eBay tools.
I had to time up a friends 172 cup up, he'd attempted with his "cheap tools" and it appeared to be in but my Renault tools wouldn't fit as the non genuine shite had that much movement it it was unreal! Buy cheap, but twice! Also don't forget you'll need the pulley holding tool for the pulley side to crack the cam pulleys off, you can't crack them off purely with the horseshoe
Exactly you'll end up ruining the end of your camshafts or more than likely the tool will just bend and snap lol.
Cam timing is set using the horseshoe and crank pin. The camshaft pulleys are fully floating and requiring loosening to get correct tension and timing whilst carrying out the change. There is no marks on the pulleys or crankshaft pulley
