The timing set (VT01523) is a collection of tools for adjusting and locking the engine components on BMW vehicles with N42 and N46 petrol engines. This set is used for performing maintenance on the timing chain, replacing the cylinder head gasket, or checking the engine timing.
The set contains specific parts such as a camshaft adjustment bridge, locking pins for the crankshaft and flywheel, and a timing chain tensioner. The tools ensure precise positioning of the camshafts and crankshaft relative to each other, which is necessary for the correct operation of the Valvetronic system. All parts are supplied in a plastic storage case.
