Not sure on the price of the locking tool from TPS this is the only one i could find on ebay.

Bet it will be ok when welded.

Someone on the fb page has measured it with a digital caliper as 98.2mm. I thought mine looked like 98.1mm so im guessing that 0.1mm will hardly matter, so should work, fingers crossed!

Hard to tell from the angle of the photo you took to as what .XX is it.

You should be able to tell it if fits snug or not.

Well the thing is I dont think my exhaust cam is in exactly the right postion as it is resting... I think I have to use the wrench to turn it against the springs so the notches in the camshafts are bang on parallel and then once ive got that then try turn the adjustor. Think im going to have a few hands available!

Someone on the fb group has said dont use a welded tool to hold the cam to undo adjustor as it will twist the camshaft :surprised: :scared:

Two many cooks - on with it, if you can align the shafts to get the tool in that's all you need.

Well the tool works! Hopefully havnt damaged anything.

The camshaft turned slightly to begin with but then the cam locking tool stopped it and there was kind of a crack as the bolt loosened. I think it was just the siund of the tension being released tbh
