Title: Flywheel & Camshaft Locking Tools
Post by Mick Saunders on Apr 28^th, 2004, 7:38pm

:) hi All,
Does anybody know, where I can get hold of the locking tools, so that I can change my Timing chains.
Its the 24v Cosworth. Unfortunately I have to change the Head gaskets & tensioners as well. Any help would be much appreciated.
Mick.

:) Hi,
Thanks for the above. I am on shift for the next few days. At the moment I've downloaded the relavent information from our web site & I am Studying it. Also I've got my local Motor Factors pricing the list of parts needed (again as taken from the our site). My local Ford Main Dealer has quoted £ 1395 Plus Parts & V.A.T ) . So I'll have to weigh the pro's & Cons. I must say that i am looking foreward to the challange.

The only special tools really needed are the engine lifting frame,the vibration damper pulley puller and the flywheel locking tool.
The flywheel locking tool and the engine lifting frame can be fabricated fairly easily.
Only attempt the job if you have good facilities including quality tools.
It is a very difficult job with the engine in situ.
