The timing set (VT01513) is a collection of tools for locking the camshafts and securing the timing chain during maintenance on Mercedes-Benz M271 engines. This set is designed for tasks such as replacing the timing chain or the cylinder head gasket.
The contents of the set include a camshaft locking tool, a holder to keep the timing chain in place, a locking pin for the chain tensioner, and a special T100 Torx socket. The tools are designed to correctly set and maintain engine timing during repairs. The set is supplied in a plastic storage case.
Application and functionality:
This set is designed for performing maintenance on the timing chain of Mercedes-Benz M271 engines.
- Locking camshafts: The locking tool fixes the camshafts in the correct TDC position (Top Dead Center), ensuring valve timing is maintained.
- Securing the timing chain: The chain holder is used to clamp the timing chain on the camshaft sprockets, preventing the chain from jumping or falling into the crankcase.
- Releasing the chain tensioner: The included locking pin allows the hydraulic chain tensioner to be safely released and removed.
- Removing chain and sprockets: The set contains the required T100 Torx socket for the camshaft bolts and an alignment pin for removing and installing the timing chain.
