How to Choose the Correct Sealey Engine Timing Tools
Engine timing tools are application-specific. Use the exact vehicle and engine information to identify the right locking, positioning and timing kit before starting work.

1
Find the engine code
The engine code is often more useful than vehicle model alone when selecting timing tools.
2
Confirm belt or chain
Timing belt and timing chain systems use different procedures and dedicated tools.
3
Check the kit coverage
Read the application list and make sure the required crankshaft, camshaft and tensioning tools are included.
4
Follow workshop data
Use approved timing data and tightening procedures; the tool holds or positions components but does not replace service information.
Practical selection advice
Why timing tools must be matched carefully
Timing tools position or lock critical engine components while timing work is carried out. Similar-looking pins, plates and fixtures are not necessarily interchangeable, so selection should be based on the exact engine application and procedure.
Information to check before ordering
- Vehicle make and model
- Model year or production range
- Engine code
- Engine capacity and fuel type
- Belt or chain drive
- Required job: belt, chain, pulley, sensor wheel or related timing work
Avoid the expensive shortcut
Similar-looking products are not automatically interchangeable. Use the product reference and application information together rather than selecting from appearance alone.
Important: Incorrect engine timing can cause serious engine damage. Always follow current vehicle manufacturer workshop data and verify the tool application before use.
Understanding the range
Choose by the job, not just the product name
These broad groups explain the main differences to think about before you jump into the product directory.
Locking & positioning kits
Used to hold crankshafts, camshafts and related components at specified positions during timing work.
Pulley & ancillary timing tools
Some jobs require dedicated pulley holding, removal or installation tools in addition to the main timing kit.
Application-specific fixtures
Certain engines use dedicated plates, pins, tensioner tools or sensor-wheel setting tools that should be matched by engine code.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers before you choose
Can I choose a timing kit from engine size alone?
Usually not. The same engine capacity can appear in several engine families, so use the engine code and application information.
Do I still need workshop data if I have the correct kit?
Yes. The kit provides the physical tools, while workshop data provides the correct procedure, positions and tightening information.
Are timing pins interchangeable?
Do not assume so. Pins can differ in diameter, length and intended location. Use the parts specified for the application.
Not sure which one you need?
Send Tanair the product reference, vehicle or equipment details and a clear photograph where useful. We can help you narrow the correct option before you order.
