Good to Know
Caution
- Confirm the vehicle has an N20 or N26 engine before ordering; the tools are engine-specific.
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal before work to prevent accidental starting, and do not crank the engine with the holding tools fitted.
- Follow the BMW repair manual procedure step by step; skipped steps can leave the timing out of position.
Care
- Keep the engine compartment clean so dust does not enter the open engine.
- Wipe the tools clean after use and return each piece to the case.
