MACE CAM SPROCKET TOOL TO SUIT HOLDEN CAPTIVA CG SIDI LF1 LFW 3.0L V6

The front cover on all SIDI high feature V6 engines have a small revision to improve NVH. This revision includes a rib added near the timing chain that prevents the use of our original Alloytec timing chain retainer tool. This SIDI specific tool will fit perfectly and allow the camshafts, actuators (phasers), camshaft followers, lifters, valve springs and valve seals to be serviced with the engine in the vehicle.

Without this tool, repair or replacement of any of the aforementioned engine components will require the removal of the timing cover and the disassembly of the entire camshaft timing system resulting in excessive labour time. Once the camshaft covers are removed, the tool is then installed to retain the timing chain in its proper orientation. The timing chain and its position relative to the camshaft position actuators is to be marked to ensure proper reassembly. It is recommended to only remove and complete work on one camshaft and its mating parts at a time.

Tool loan:

This tool is also available to be loaned out for $60, but we will also require a $310 bond. The bond will be fully refunded once the tool has been returned in complete working order within 30 days. Should you damage components, the core refund will be pro-rated to cover the cost of the damaged parts (not including consumables like anti-seize lubricant).

Please note that the return postage of the tool is the responsibility of the customer.
