Thanks ?

Idk but PLEASE for EVERYONES SAKE take pictures and diy procedure. We all need to do the timing chain if we dont have updated parts.

They already exist as youtube videos, and of course in the Bentley manual. If you don't have a Bentley you shouldn't be doing anything more involved than an oil change. I wouldn't recommend changing the timing chain unless the symptoms to justify it arise.

I have the Bentley and looked for the part number on line but couldn't find a supplier.

It's in this kit. I doubt you can get it otherwise, since you need everything in the kit to do the job.

I believe that is not the same tool. Ultimately I think they do the same job (lock the crank in place), but it appears they do it in different ways.

I think there is only one YouTube video and it's terribly made. unless you know of another one ? please share link if so. Also , what is a Bentley manual ?
